Abstract
In a method for producing an image of an examination subject by computed tomography using an x-ray source that moves around the examination subject for producing the image, a number of projections serving for the production of the image are registered during at least one revolution of the x-ray source around the examination subject. Motion artifacts of the image are at least reduced by identifying data representing a part of the image exhibiting a motion, and replacing that data with data complementary to the data exhibiting movement.
