Abstract
A method of producing images with different image characteristics from measured computer tomographic data, includes using a convolution of measured data with a first convolution core, designed to produce the first image characteristic, and subsequent back-projection by which first image data of a first image with the first image characteristic is calculated. The first image data is then subjected to filtering in order to produce second image data of a second image with a second image characteristic. By using the method, the storage requirement and the computing time in the production of images with different image characteristics can be reduced.
