Abstract

The image pick-up apparatus includes a plurality of image sensors (2, 3) for picking up sub-images by deriving sub-image signals from sub-images and also a correction system (4, 43, 44, 45) for deriving corrected brightness values from brightness values of the sub-images and a correction signal. The correction system is provided with a light source (4), for example a LED, for exposing at least one of the image sensors in order to generate one or more measurement signals from the exposed image sensor (sensors). The correction system is arranged to derive the correction signal from the one or more measurement signals. An image pick-up apparatus of this kind is used, for example in an X-ray examination apparatus.
