A method includes, following specification of an initial transformation as a test transformation that is to be optimized, determining a 2D gradient x-ray image and a 3D gradient dataset of the image dataset, carrying out, for each image element of the gradient comparison image, a check for selection as a contour point, and determining an environment best corresponding to a local environment of the contour point and extending around a comparison point in the gradient x-ray image for all contour points in the at least one gradient comparison image. Local 2D displacement information is determined by comparing the contour points with the associated comparison points, and motion parameters of a 3D motion model describing a movement of the target region between the acquisition of the image dataset and the x-ray image are determined from the displacement information and a registration transformation describing the registration.

A method is disclosed for noise reduction in images with locally different and directional noise, in particular for noise reduction in image data records of computed tomography. In at least one embodiment of the method, two image data records of an identical object region that have mutually independent noise are provided. The two image data records are decomposed by a discrete wavelet transformation into a number of frequency bands, detailed images having high frequency structures being obtained in at least two different directions. Noise images in the respective frequency bands and directions are obtained by subtracting a wavelet coefficient of the two input images. These noise images are used to estimate noise locally and as a function of direction, and on the basis of this estimate local threshold values are calculated and applied to the averaged wavelet coefficients of the input images. A result image with reduced noise is obtained after an inverse wavelet transformation.

A method for recording and reconstructing a three-dimensional image dataset is proposed. A plurality of projection images are acquired under different recording geometries in relation to an object to be recorded by an X-ray apparatus, in particular a C-arm X-ray apparatus. At least two projection images are recorded for at least one recording geometry, in particular for every recording geometry. The three-dimensional image dataset is reconstructed from the project images.

A method is disclosed for noise reduction in 3D volume data records from tomographic recordings. In at least one embodiment, the method includes generating at least two statistically independent equally dimensioned 3D volume data records for the same location and situation. In at least one embodiment of the method, the at least two statistically independent 3D volume data records are respectively subjected to 3D wavelet transformation with low pass filtering and high pass filtering in the three spatial directions of the three dimensional volume data record, and a respective initial data record with wavelet coefficients is calculated. Further, correlation coefficients for identical wavelet coefficients are ascertained from the initial data records and a new wavelet data record is calculated by weighting the wavelet coefficients from at least one initial data record on the basis of the ascertained correlation coefficients for the wavelet coefficients from the initial data records. Finally, a new 3D volume data record is transformed back from the new wavelet data record.
