A method is for scattered ray correction of projection measurement data recorded by a computer tomography system. In an embodiment, the method includes recording, localizing, identifying and correcting. In the recording, projection measurement data is recorded from a plurality of projection angles and the projection measurement data is captured in a sinogram. In the localizing, features in the projection measurement data of the sinogram are localized in a defined angle range about a projection angle. In the identifying, a scatter distribution for the projection angle is identified from the localized features by way of a trained identification algorithm. In the correcting, the projection measurement data of the projection angle is corrected on the basis of the scatter distribution.
