ABSTRACT:
A method is described for imaging an organ in a human or animal body via a computed tomography system having an X-ray radiation source which rotates around the body along a circumferential ring. In at least one embodiment, the circumferential ring in each case is fixed in one position for recording of an image data segment on one slice plane during one revolution of the X-ray radiation source relative to the body, and the X-ray radiation source is triggered by a cycle signal which represents a movement cycle of the organ and is activated for a limited measurement time interval. In at least one embodiment, the circumferential ring is moved sequentially to further positions relative to the body between each of the recordings, in order to record image data on further slice planes. In at least one embodiment, the timing and duration of the measurement time interval for an image data segment to be recorded are dynamically matched to a structure of the cycle signal. Furthermore, in at least one embodiment, a control device for a computed tomography system and/or a computed tomography system having a control device such as this are described.
