Abstract
An image reconstruction method for reconstructing an imagerepresenting a region of investigation within an object includes providing detector data (y) having Poisson random values from an X-ray transmission measurement using an X-ray source and a detector device, the detector data (y) being measured at an i-th of a plurality of different pixel positions of the detector device relative to the object, and reconstructing the imagebased on the detector data (y), the reconstructing step including a procedure of minimizing a functional whereis a current test image used for minimizing the functional F(). The imagerepresents the global minimum of F().
