A computed tomography method for determining a volumetric representation of a sample comprises using reconstructed volume data of the sample from x-ray projections of the sample taken by an x-ray system, computing a set of artificial projections of said sample by a forward projection from said reconstructed volume data, and determining, essentially from process data of said reconstruction including said reconstructed volume data and/or said x-ray projections, individual confidence measures for single voxels of said volume data based on calculating, for each of said measured x-ray projections, the difference between the contribution of this measured x-ray projection to the voxel under inspection and the contribution from a corresponding artificial projection to the voxel under inspection.
