Abstract

See full text

A tomogram of a body is provided. Projection-image data obtained by a radiation-based projection method is used for providing the tomogram. Initial voxel data are first specified for a plurality of voxels of the body. Synthetic projection-image data are generated based upon a projection rule modeling a course of the projection method. Projection-error data is determined by comparing the synthetic projection-image data with the real projection-image data. The projection-error data are imaged on the basis of a back-projection rule dependent on the projection rule so that voxel-error data are produced. Correction data is generated from the voxel-error data by a gradient-based optimizing algorithm, wherein corrected voxel data are generated using the correction data.
