Abstract
A computer tomography system, in addition to conducting a standard computer tomography scan, is capable of producing a shadowgraph prior to conducting the computer tomography examination with the measurement unit in a locked position, as well as one or more real time shadowgraphs during the computer tomography examination. The shadowgraph obtained with the measurement unit in the lock position can then be superimposed with one or more of the real time shadowgraphs obtained during the tomography examination, and the superimposed image displayed, so that patient and/or organ movement arising during the computer tomography examination can be immediately visually perceived.
