Abstract: In a method and device for mounting an elongated member inside an elongated, elastic, flexible tubing, initially having an inside cross-sectional dimension that is approximately equal to or less than the outside cross-sectional dimension of the elongated member, the inner cross-sectional dimension of the flexible tubing is expanded by applying a pressurized fluid to the inner bore of the tubing, and inserting the elongated member into the tubing while the pressurized fluid is being applied.

Abstract: In a method for reconstructing a three-dimensional subject a number of projections of a three-dimensional subject is acquired by an acquisition arrangement. Each projection is a dataset of spatially contiguous data values. The projections are provided to a computer. A first part of the data values of the projections is replaced by new data values, and a second part of the data values of the projections remains unchanged. Thus changed projections are generated, using which a reconstruction of an image of the subject is determined by the computer.
