Abstract

The invention relates to a method and device for reconstructing a 3D image data set of a moving object from a set of projection images, which were recorded at least partially one after the other from different projection directions. The projection images are hereby assigned by ECG gating to a motion phase of the object in each instance and an incomplete 3D image of the object is computed in this motion phase from these few projection images using local tomography. Motion fields are determined from these 3D images and are used during the final 3D image reconstruction for motion correction.
