ABSTRACT:
A computer tomography apparatus (100) for examination of an object of interest (107) comprising an electromagnetic radiation source (104) adapted to emit electromagnetic radiation to an object of interest (107), a detecting device (108) adapted to detect electromagnetic radiation generated by the electromagnetic radiation source (104) and passed through the object of interest (107), and a motion generation device (101, 119) adapted to move the electromagnetic radiation source (104) and the detecting device (108) with respect to the object of interest (107) along a first trajectory and along a second trajectory which differs from the first trajectory, wherein the second trajectory is selected in such a manner that electromagnetic radiation detected during performing the second trajectory provides data which complete mathematically incomplete data detected during performing the first trajectory to thereby allow a reconstruction of structural information concerning the object of interest (107).
