A method is disclosed for the reconstruction of resultant image data of an examination object from scan data acquired during a relative rotation movement between a radiation source of an X-ray image recording system and the examination object. An embodiment of the method includes reconstruction of initial image data from the scan data derivation of contour data from the initial image data calculation of contour significance data from the scan data and/or the initial image data and calculation of the resultant image data using the contour data and the contour significance data. A corresponding computer program, a corresponding data carrier, a corresponding control and computation unit and a corresponding X-ray image recording system are also disclosed.
