ABSTRACT:
In a method for correcting non-reproducible geometric errors occurring during the operation of an x-ray C-arm device, having a C-arm carrying an x-ray source, during orbital displacement of the C-arm during a scan for 3D reconstruction of a subject volume, a 2D dataset, which is not impaired by non-reproducible geometric errors during the scan, is determined. This 2D dataset is compared to known projection matrices of the x-ray C-arm device, which compensate reproducible geometric errors of the C-arm device. The result of the comparison is used to modify the projection matrices of the scan to compensate non-reproducible geometric errors that occur during the scan.
