| 1. A method for creating recordings and evaluating data with the aid of a tomography machine, comprising:
creating at least two recordings, with different spectral distribution, of an examination area of an object; and
evaluating measured data obtained from the two recordings such that additional information relating to at least one of the
examination area and a specific representation of the image of the examination area is obtained from the different spectral
distributions,
wherein the tomography machine includes at least two separate recording systems, each of the at least two recording systems
including a separate X-ray tube and a separate detector, and
wherein the two recording systems operate with different spectral distributions.
