Method for recording correction frames for high energy images

Abstract

It is proposed according to the invention to record, in an image recording device for recording X-ray images, offset frames for different operating modes of said device according to a current sequence, wherein said current sequence can, by taking into account a new sequence in a comparison procedure, be changed into an updated sequence. The new sequence is based on the frequency with which the individual operating modes are used.
