Abstract
In a method for generating a resultant tomogram from a number of tomograms registered with a computed tomography (CT) apparatus by scanning slices of an examination subject that have different, fixed positions during the scan on a system axis proceeding at a right angle relative to the slices, the attenuation values acquired in the scanning of the individual slices are superimposed to form resulting attenuation values, and the resultant tomogram is reconstructed from the resulting attenuation values.
