Abstract
A method is for determining a position of an object causing interference in the beam path of a computed tomography unit. The method includes recording a first calibration table in a first moving focal point mode and recording a second calibration table in a second moving focal point mode. The method further includes creating two differential tables based on the first and second calibration tables, each with a corresponding already available calibration table recorded in the same moving focal point mode and in interference-free operation. Finally, the position of the object causing the interference in the beam path is determined, based on the differential tables.
