1. An apparatus for creating a multi-dimensional representation of an object, comprising: an X-ray source for illuminating the object; a sensor located, in relation to the X-ray source, behind the object in a preferential direction defined by the relative positions of the object and of the sensor, for creating a first picture and a second picture of the object; a mover for moving the source or the object so as to change a distance in the preferential direction between the X-ray source and the object between the first and second pictures; a combiner configured to determine, from the change in the distance between the first and second pictures, an angle of rotation which describes a rotation of the X-ray source in relation to the object and which corresponds to a change in the perspective from which the object is illuminated and imaged on the sensor; the combiner being further configured to combine the first and second pictures while using the angle of rotation and a computer tomography image processing algorithm in order to acquire the multi-dimensional representation of the object.
