Abstract:
1. A method for imaging an organ in a human or animal body via a computed tomography system including an X-ray radiation source to rotate around the body along a circumferential ring, the method comprising: fixing the circumferential ring in one position for recording of an image data segment on one slice plane during one revolution of the X-ray radiation source relative to the body; triggering the X-ray radiation source by a cycle signal which represents a movement cycle of the organ, the X-ray radiation source being activated for a limited measurement time interval; moving the circumferential ring sequentially to further positions relative to the body between each of the recordings in order to record image data on further slice planes; and dynamically matching timing and duration of the measurement time interval for an image data segment to be recorded to a structure of the cycle signal at that time.
