Abstract:
1. An X-ray computer tomograph for investigating an object by means of X-ray computer tomography comprising: an X-ray source for generating X-ray radiation; an X-ray detector for detecting the X-ray radiation; an object carrier for positioning an object to be investigated between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector; and an evaluation unit for evaluating the detected X-ray radiation, wherein; a first intensity measurement device for measuring a first intensity of the X-ray radiation is arranged between the X-ray source and the object carrier; a second intensity measurement device for measuring a second intensity of the X-ray radiation is arranged between the object carrier and the X-ray detector outside a projection region of the object; the intensity measurement devices are connected to the evaluation unit to transmit the measured intensities; and the evaluation unit is configured in such a way that at least one scattered radiation correction factor is calculable depending on the measured intensities.
