Patent ID: 7403587

Claim:
A computer tomography method, comprising: producing a cone-shaped bundle of rays by means of a radiation source, said bundle of rays passing through an examination area and coming from a radiation source location, producing a relative movement between the radiation source location on the one hand and the examination area on the other hand along an overall trajectory, wherein the relative movement comprises a rotation about an axis of rotation along a first, closed partial trajectory, a rotation about the axis of rotation along at least one second, closed partial trajectory and a movement along at least one third partial trajectory which connects the first and the at least one second partial trajectories to one another, wherein the third partial trajectory is a non-circular, elliptical trajectory, acquiring measured values which depend on the intensity in the bundle of rays on the other side of the examination area, by means of a detector unit during the relative movement, reconstructing a CT image of the examination area from the measured values.
