Abstract
In an embodiment, a method includes at least moving a patient table through a measurement region of the computed tomography device, the movement of the patient having at least one phase of variable speed during the projection recording, time-solved determination or recording of the patient table position, time-resolved recording of projections of at least one part of an examination object moving with the table, the number of the slices contributing to the recording being varied during the at least one phase of variable speed of the patient table as a function of the table speed in such a way that the quotient formed from the current table speed divided by the number of the slices contributing to the recording is constant so that the pitch factor is kept constant during the projection recording, and time-resolved determination or recording of the number or slices contributing to the projection recording.
