Abstract
A method is for generating image data of an examination object via a computed tomography system including a data processing unit; an X-ray radiation source and an X-ray radiation detector suspended on a support and mounted to be rotatable about a z-axis; and an examination table for supporting the examination object and a reference object arranged in a fixed position relative to the examination table. The method includes generating a raw data set by displacing the X-ray radiation source and the X-ray radiation detector relative to the examination object. During generation of the raw data set, at least one part of the examination object is sampled together with at least one part of the reference object. The sampling of the at least one part of the reference object is used to compensate at least in part for the influence of movement errors during the displacement.
