Abstract

In a computed tomography apparatus wherein an examination subject is irradiated by an x-ray beam from a number of different angular positions, a measured data set is obtained in a first geometry, and the reconstruction of the tomographic image ensues by interpolation of the measured data in a second geometry. The interpolation results in an unwanted smoothing of the data. In order to compensate for this smoothing, the data in the frequency space are divided by the average Fourier transform of the interpolation function, or alternatively, a discrete convolution of the data in the spatial domain is undertaken.
