Abstract

In a method for the generation of a 3D dataset from 2D x-ray datasets, the 2D data are forwarded from a customer to a 3D reconstruction center in which a calibration of the projection geometry ensues by means of a software package and/or a specialist. As a result a 3D volume dataset is calculates and made available to the customer.
