US Patent 7426256 Motion-corrected three-dimensional volume imaging method

An X-ray imaging method forms a set of a plurality of two-dimensional X-Ray projection images of a medical or veterinary object to be examined through a scanning rotation by an X-Ray source viz à viz the object. Such X-Ray images are acquired at respective predetermined time instants with respect to a functionality process produced by the object. From said set of X-Ray projection images by back-projection a three-dimensional volume image of the object is reconstructed. In particular, an appropriate motion correction is derived for the respective two-dimensional images, and subsequently as based on a motion vector field from the various corrected two-dimensional images the intended three-dimensional volume is reconstructed.
