Abstract:
1. A method for improving display of flat slices of a cyclically and complexly moving examination object from detector measured data of a tomography unit, the method comprising: reconstructing, by a processing unit, at least two tomograms from different phases of a movement cycle of the examination object in a region of at least one slice plane, automatically subdividing, by said processing unit, the tomograms of the at least one slice plane into an arbitrary N by N pattern of subregions, N being an integer value; and assembling, by said processing unit, a complete tomogram per slice plane from the arbitrary pattern of subregions of the individual tomograms, the arbitrary pattern of subregions of the individual tomograms exhibiting the relatively best image quality being used, the image quality being determined from the knowledge of the complex movement behavior in relation to the movement cycle of the examination object, and from the recording instant of the recorded tomograms in relation to the movement cycle.
