Abstract
The present invention relates to an imaging system for imaging an object () comprising a polychromatic radiation source () and an energy resolving radiation detector (). The imaging system comprises further a driving device for moving the object () and the radiation source () relatively to each other, in order to acquire truncated projections from different directions. A calculation unit determines a k-edge component at least of one of the object () and a substance within the object () from the truncated projections and determines non-truncated projections from the determined k-edge component. A reconstruction unit constructs the object using the non-truncated projections.
