Abstract:
A method is provided for determining the stopping power from computed tomography scans. The method includes preparing computed tomography scans of a body region with two different recording energies; determining the stopping power for different CT numbers from dual energy image areas of the computed tomography scans; forming a data field in which the determined values for the stopping power for different CT numbers from dual energy image areas are applied as a function of the CT numbers; forming a look-up table from the data field; determining the stopping power for different CT numbers from single energy image areas of the computed tomography scans by the look-up table. A corresponding device and control device, a corresponding particle therapy system, and a corresponding computed tomography system, are also provided.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein in the case of adjoining dual energy image areas and single energy image areas in a predetermined transition area with a thickness \u0394, an effective stopping power is calculated from the dual energy stopping power of the dual energy image area and the single energy stopping power of the single energy image area and a predetermined transition function w(r) with the location parameter r, with 0<r<\u0394.
