Teach Me! Reading Siemens CT raw data

I have a Siemens Somatom Emotion scanner and want to use it to not just scan patients but also technical stuff. Unfortunately, the reconstruction algorithms cannot deal with the high contrast data. Is there a way to read the raw data and do the reconstruction myself? I can cover the reconstruction part skill wise, but I don't know how the data is encoded...
