Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes, in an embodiment, receiving first X-ray projections of an examination volume in respect of a first X-ray energy and second X-ray projections in respect of a second X-ray energy, the first and second X-ray energies differing. The method further includes determination of a multienergetic real image data record of the examination volume based upon the first and second X-ray projections; selection of first voxels of the multienergetic real image data record based upon the multienergetic real image data record; selection of second voxels of the multienergetic real image data record based upon the first X-ray projections and the second X-ray projections, the first voxels including the second voxels and the second voxels mapping contrast medium in the examination volume. The method further includes provision of a constraint image data record and/or a difference image data record based upon the second voxels.
