1. A method for making an X-ray recording of an examination region of an examination object with an X-ray system including an X-ray source on an emitter displacement unit and an X-ray detector including a detection area on a detector displacement unit, the method comprising:
selecting the examination region;
portion-wise recording successive recording portions of the examination region, the portion-wise recording including,
moving the X-ray source and the X-ray detector along a recording direction,
determining a respective strip-shaped detection region of the detection area for each of the successive recording portions, the respective strip-shaped detection regions being determined such that at least one of the respective strip-shaped detection regions is along a diagonal of the detection area, and
acquiring and recording each of the successive recording portions using the respective strip-shaped detection region and the X-ray source; and
generating an assembled X-ray recording of the examination region from the successive recording portions recorded.
