Abstract
One or more example embodiments relates to a method for actuating an X-ray imaging device having at least one X-ray source and, opposite thereto, a photon-counting X-ray detector for acquiring a three-dimensional object image dataset of a mapping region of an object, the method comprising providing a first spectral image dataset that maps at least part of the mapping region of the object, deriving a setting of the X-ray imaging device based on the first spectral image dataset for the acquisition of the three-dimensional object image dataset, and actuating the X-ray imaging device to acquire the three-dimensional object image dataset based on the derived setting.

A method for actuating an X-ray imaging device having at least one X-ray source and a photon-counting X-ray detector for acquiring a three-dimensional object image dataset of a mapping region of an object, the photon-counting X-ray detector opposing the at least one X-ray source, the method comprising:
- providing a first spectral image dataset that maps at least a part of the mapping region of the object;
- deriving a setting of at least one actuation parameter of the X-ray imaging device based on the first spectral image dataset for the acquisition of the three-dimensional object image dataset;
- and
- actuating the X-ray imaging device to acquire the three-dimensional object image dataset based on the derived setting.
