Abstract
A CT apparatus with alternating focus, in which the detector elements deliver output data when picking up individual projections corresponding to the beam attenuation of the X-rays proceeding to the detector element, the number of data items correspond to twice the number of detector elements participating in the pick-up of each projection. The output data are converted into image reconstruction data, which contain a number of data items per projection which is greater than twice the number of detector elements participating in the pick-up of the respective projection.
