X-ray image data of an examination subject is acquired for an acquisition period by an X-ray detector of an X-ray system simultaneously with a decay process of a radioactive material taking place in or on the examination subject. The X-ray image data includes information relating to an X-ray attenuation distribution of the examination subject and information relating to the decay process. Correction image data representing the information relating to the decay process in the X-ray image data for the acquisition period is determined. Corrected X-ray image data for the acquisition period is generated using the X-ray image data and the correction image data.
A method for correcting X-ray image data of an examination subject, the X-ray image data acquired for an acquisition period by an X-ray detector of an X-ray system simultaneously with a decay process of a radioactive material taking place in or on the examination subject, wherein the X-ray image data comprises information relating to an X-ray attenuation distribution of the examination subject and information relating to the decay process, said method comprising:
A non-transitory machine-readable data medium on which a computer program is stored, the computer program executable by a processor, the machine-readable data medium comprising the computer program for:
A data processing device comprising:
An X-ray system comprising:
