Abstract
A method is provided for detecting a movement of a body between acquisition times of at least two acquisition data sets, wherein, for virtual sectional planes of the body, a first intermediate function value of attenuation values of all the body elements lying in the sectional plane is determined based on a first acquisition data set, and a second intermediate function value of the attenuation values is determined based on a second acquisition data set. For each sectional plane, a difference value is determined from the intermediate function values. A total error value for the two acquisition data sets is calculated by combining the difference values of all the sectional planes. The virtual sectional planes have a common line of intersection, and for the particular acquisition time, the difference between pairs of the sectional lines is at least one pixel.
