Abstract
The invention relates to a computerized tomography method, in which an examination area is scanned radiographically along a helical trajectory by a conical beam. The radiation transmitted through the examination area is measured by means of a detector unit, wherein the absorption distribution in the examination area is reconstructed exactly or at least quasi-exactly from these measured values. Reconstruction uses redundant measured values and comprises derivation of the measured values from parallel rays of different projections, integration of these values along .kappa.-lines, weighting of these values and back-projection.
