ABSTRACT:
In a method and filter and computer product for adaptive filtering of projection data acquired by a medical diagnostic apparatus, raw data-based filtering of the acquired projection data is undertaken using a filter with a filter kernel having a constant filter width, and the filtered projection data are mixed with the acquired projection data with a fixing of the respective quantitative relationships of filtered projection data to acquired projection data ensuing dependent on respective subsets of the acquired projection data.
