  • Providing a medical image
    Patent number: 11514623
    Abstract: A method is for providing a medical image of a patient, acquired via a computed tomography apparatus. An embodiment of the method includes acquiring first projection data of a first measurement region; acquiring second projection data of a second measurement region; registering a reference image to the at least one respiration-correlated image of the patient, wherein the reference image corresponds to the at least one functional image of the patient or is reconstructed under a second reconstruction rule from the second projection data, to produce a deformation model; applying the deformation model to the at least one functional image of the patient; combining the at least one functional image of the patient, deformed by the applying of the deformation model, with the at least one respiration-correlated image of the patient, to produce the medical image of the patient; and providing the medical image of the patient.
