For years, simplifying assumptions have been necessary in X-ray Computed Tomography to make the reconstruction of images feasible. Only recently, computer hardware has become powerful enough to tackle problems classically beyond reach. This thesis discusses three such problems: Reconstruction from incoherent measurements of a beating heart, automatic path planning enabling optimal patient-specific sensor trajectories, and X-ray scattering tomography yielding information about sub-voxel structures.     «
