Abstract

Various embodiments include a method for facilitating tomographic reconstruction comprising: emitting an x-ray beam from an x-ray unit; ascertaining an attenuation of the x-ray beam during transmission through an object situated in a beam path of the x-ray beam; ascertaining structure data of the object based at least in part on the attenuation of the x-ray beam; and ascertaining a pose of the x-ray unit relative to the object using a digital model of the object and based at least in part on the attenuation of the x-ray beam.
