Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus () for correcting computer tomography ('CT') X-ray data acquired at high relative pitch, the apparatus comprising: an input unit (); a processing unit (); and an output unit (). The input unit is configured to provide the processing unit with CT X-ray data of a body part of a person acquired at high relative pitch. The processing unit is configured to determine CT slice reconstruction data of the body part of the person with no or reduced high relative pitch operation reconstruction artefacts using a machine learning algorithm. The machine learning algorithm was trained on the basis of CT slice reconstruction data, and wherein the CT slice reconstruction data comprised first CT slice reconstruction data with high relative pitch reconstruction artefacts and comprised second CT slice reconstruction data with less, less severe, or no high relative pitch reconstruction artefacts. The output unit is configured to output the CT slice reconstruction data of the body part of the person.
