ABSTRACT:
A device and a method for computer tomography are described, in which an uncorrected volume image and a correction volume image are overlaid by the user after selection of a weighting function. This enables manual correction to be undertaken even after the correction of interference effects, such as x-ray scattering or beam hardening.
