wherein the second space elements are determined in a first step by the multidimensional image information of that first space element which forms the starting point of the search beam, and the second space elements are weighted in further steps by multidimensional image information of further first space elements which form starting points of search beams which also penetrate the second space elements, wherein the weights orientate themselves at multidimensional distances of each second space element to the respective starting points.

Abstract
The method/device reconstructs/represents multidimensional objects from one- or two-dimensional image data based on recordings of one- or two-dimensional partial image areas, wherein spatial/positions of individual partial image areas are used along with one- or two-dimensional image information of the individual partial image areas to generate one- or two-dimensional image data, wherein a first group of space elements is generated in a multidimensional voxel space from first space elements which contain multidimensional image information and touch/intersect planes or lines of partial image areas by means of the one- or two-dimensional image data, and wherein a second group of space elements is generated in the multidimensional voxel space from second space elements by means of information transformation from the multidimensional image information of the first group of space elements. The first space elements are defined by means of the partial image areas by arranging these areas in the multidimensional voxel space.
