Abstract
In a method and X-ray device for the pickup of X-ray images in an examination of a vessel or organ that moves substantially rhythmically, particularly for the determination of deposits in a vessel, such as a coronary vessel, the X-ray pickup system of an X-ray device is slowly moved along a circular orbit at an angular velocity of less than 6° per second, during which a number of digital X-ray images are picked up, with the image pickup being triggered by the vessel motion or organ motion acquired during the system movement or by an organ motion that causes the vessel motion, and a 3D image is reconstructed on the basis of the individual images, after the image pickup has ensued.
