1. A determining apparatus configured to determine an abnormal structure in an examination region in conjunction with an X-ray recording of an X-ray system, the determining apparatus comprising:
a first interface configured to receive input data, the input data relating to an X-ray recording data set of the X-ray recording having multiple data channels and including at least one of complementary information in the multiple data channels, spectral or material-resolving information, or information based on a recombination of image data of the multiple data channels;
a computer unit configured to apply a trained function to at least two data channels to determine the abnormal structure and generate output data, the trained function being based on a machine learning method; and
a second interface configured to provide the output data, the output data including the abnormal structure of the examination region.
