ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for projection radiography is set up for correcting stray radiation. The apparatus comprises an evaluation unit which evaluates the distribution of stray radiation, which is arranged in a tabular manner in a data memory, for correcting stray radiation, said distribution being initially determined with the aid of Monte-Carlo-Simulation which takes into account multiple interactions of the photons with the object which is to be analyzed.
