Patent ID: 7450682

Claim:
A method for spatially presenting an x-ray image of an area under examination of an object, comprising recording a plurality of two-dimensional projection data sets of the area under examination by an x-ray imaging system, wherein each of the projection data sets is recorded along an axis of projection of the x-ray imaging system intersecting an axis of examination at a right angle; simultaneously rotating the axis of projection around the axis of examination and moving the axis of projection along the axis of examination while recording the projection data sets; interpolating an image data set for an angle of projection not recorded from the projection data sets; and combining the projection data sets and the image data set resulting from said interpolating to produce a combined data set; and processing the combined data set to create an x-ray image of the area under examination, wherein an increment of the imaged area under examination results from the combining of the projection data sets and the interpolated image data set.
