Abstract: The invention relates to a computer tomography apparatus in which the scanning trajectory is shaped as a helix and a conical radiation beam traverses the examination zone. According to the invention, the dimension of the detector window (or the part thereof which is used for the reconstruction) is a factor of 3, 5, 7 . . . larger than the distance between neighboring turns of the helix. Using this geometry, each voxel in the examination zone is irradiated exactly from an angular range of 3pi, 5pi, 7pi . . . when it traverses the cone beam. Such data acquisition yields an improved image quality.
