Abstract
In recording projection images for dual absorptiometry, the optical thickness of an object being examined is determined on the basis of a projection image recorded in a high-energy range, and parameters for recording a projection image in the low-energy range are selected as a function of the determined optical thickness. The ratio between image quality and the radiation dosage of the object being examined can be optimized thereby.
