A method is for the compensation of image disturbances in the course of a
radiation image recording caused by a defocusing of an antiscatter grid, arranged in the beam path between a
beam source and a digital
radiation image
receiver and focused with respect to a specific distance from the focus of the
beam source. Such image disturbances are caused by a defocusing-dictated attenuation of the primary
radiation incident on the radiation image
receiver. A
solid-state
image detector includes radiation-sensitive pixels arranged in
matrix form and a device for pixelwise amplification of the radiation-dependent signals. In the method, at least some of the signals supplied in pixelwise fashion are amplified by an amplifying device in a manner dependent on the actual distance of the antiscatter grid from the focus.
