An apparatus for creating a multi-dimensional representation of an object, comprising: an X-ray source (4; 60) for illuminating the object and a further X-ray source (30; 62) for illuminating the object; a sensor (8; 66) located, in relation to the X-ray source (4; 60), behind the object in the preferential direction (9; 68) defined by the relative positions of the object and of the sensor (8; 66), for creating a first picture and a second picture of the object; the further X-ray source (30; 62) being located in front of the object in a further preferential direction (34; 70); a mover for moving the X-ray source (4; 60) or the object so as to change a distance in the preferential direction (9; 68) between the X-ray source (4; 60) and the object between the first and second pictures, the mover additionally being configured to move the further X-ray source (30; 62) in the further preferential direction so as to change a further distance in the further preferential direction (34; 70) between the further X-ray source (30; 62) and the object; and a combiner configured to determine, from the change in the distance between the first and second pictures, an angle of rotation which describes a rotation of the X-ray source (4; 60) in relation to the object which corresponds to a change in the perspective from which the object is illuminated and imaged on the sensor (8; 66), and the combiner further being configured to combine the first and second pictures while using the angle of rotation and a computer tomography image processing algorithm in order to acquire the multi-dimensional representation of the object, the sensor additionally being configured to create a third picture in which the object is illuminated by the further X-ray source, the combiner being configured to combine the first picture, the second picture and the third picture so as to acquire the multi-dimensional representation of the object. an X-ray source (4; 60) for illuminating the object and a further X-ray source (30; 62) for illuminating the object; a sensor (8; 66) located, in relation to the X-ray source (4; 60), behind the object in the preferential direction (9; 68) defined by the relative positions of the object and of the sensor (8; 66), for creating a first picture and a second picture of the object; the further X-ray source (30; 62) being located in front of the object in a further preferential direction (34; 70); a mover for moving the X-ray source (4; 60) or the object so as to change a distance in the preferential direction (9; 68) between the X-ray source (4; 60) and the object between the first and second pictures, the mover additionally being configured to move the further X-ray source (30; 62) in the further preferential direction so as to change a further distance in the further preferential direction (34; 70) between the further X-ray source (30; 62) and the object; and a combiner configured to determine, from the change in the distance between the first and second pictures, an angle of rotation which describes a rotation of the X-ray source (4; 60) in relation to the object which corresponds to a change in the perspective from which the object is illuminated and imaged on the sensor (8; 66), and the combiner further being configured to combine the first and second pictures while using the angle of rotation and a computer tomography image processing algorithm in order to acquire the multi-dimensional representation of the object, the sensor additionally being configured to create a third picture in which the object is illuminated by the further X-ray source, the combiner being configured to combine the first picture, the second picture and the third picture so as to acquire the multi-dimensional representation of the object.
