  • Patent number: 7583784
    Abstract: A method is for calculating computed tomography pictures from detector data of a CT that uses at least two radiation sources that generate different conical beams. A spatial distribution of attenuation values of a scanned object is reconstructed with the aid of detector data of a first relatively large conical beam. The integral attenuation values that are required to supplement the relatively small conical beam are back calculated from the previously reconstructed data. Finally, a reconstruction of computed tomography pictures is subsequently carried out with the aid of the back calculated integral attenuation data and the measured integral attenuation data of the relatively small conical beam.
