A method is for providing decision-supporting data. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving photon-counting computed tomography data relating to an examination region; determining a location of a thrombus in the examination region, based on the photon-counting computed tomography data received; generating the decision-supporting data, relating to at least one of the thrombus and a vascular wall in a region of the thrombus, based on the photon-counting computed tomography data received and the location of the thrombus determined; and providing the decision-supporting data generated.
