ABSTRACT:
A method for producing a first shadow image with the aid of an X ray computer tomograph at a prescribed first angular position is disclosed. In order to reduce the applied dose, in at least one embodiment the X ray source is operated in a pulsed fashion only when traversing a prescribed sector including the first angular position. Further, when the prescribed first angular position is reached, a first X ray pulse is generated.
