Abstract:
1. A method for generating a 3D image data of an object, comprising: taking a first sequence of x-ray images of the object along a first straight line movement of an x-ray source and an x-ray detector relative to the object; taking a further sequence of x-ray images of the object along a further straight line movement of the x-ray source and the x-ray detector relative to the object; swiveling the x-ray source and the x-ray detector without taking any x-ray images between taking the first and the further sequences of the x-ray images; moving the object along the straight lines while taking the first and the further sequences of the x-ray images; and generating the 3D image data based on the first and the further sequences of x-ray images by a reconstruction method for medically examining the object.
