Abstract
A method is provided for generating a volume model of an object under examination from a data set that includes first 2D projection images created in a first X-ray spectrum and second 2D projection images created in a second X-ray spectrum. The method includes: supplementing the 2D projection images with fill projections and reconstructing a preliminary volume model from the supplemented 2D projection images; determining a spectral X-ray absorption property of at least one volume element and generating virtual 2D projection images from the preliminary volume model as a function of the spectral X-ray absorption property of the at least one volume element; and reconstructing the volume model from the virtual 2D projection images and/or the supplemented 2D projection images and the virtual 2D projection images.
