    摘要: An array processor wherein data coming out of an internal data memory device (22) is fed into a register file (24), and on the same clock cycle, three data results are coming out of an arithmetic unit (26, 28, 30) and feed back into the register file. Therefore, on a single clock cycle, five separate pieces of data are going into the register file. In the same clock cycle, other data coming out of the outputs of the register file (24) feed data into two separate floating arithmetic adders (26, 28) and one floating arithmetic multiplier (30). The arrangement allows a constant flow of data to be supplied to the arithmetic unit thereby using the arithmetic unit to its maximum functioning ability.

    摘要: An imaging method and apparatus having a new and improved data filter. In one application of the invention computed tomography number inaccuracies are avoided by use of a new filter function derived from discrete points of a truncated spatial domain convolution filter. The points from the truncated convolution filter are fourier transformed to yield a ramp filter with ripple in the spatial frequency domain. Data from a CT scan is filtered with this new filter function and back projected to produce images that do not exhibit CT number inaccuracies.

    摘要: A CT scanner (10) generates views of data such as equal angular increment detector fan views (Figure 2A) which are convolved or filtered by an array processor (24). A combined backprojector and forward projector (28) backprojects the data from the array processor into an output memory (30) and forward projects lines of image representation data from an input memory (26) to the output memory. Each view representation may again be an equal angular increment detector fan format view (Figure 2A), a parallel ray format view (Figure 2B), an equal linear increment source fan format view (Figure 2D), a source fan format view (Figure 2C), an equal angular incremental detector fan format view (Figure 2E), an equal linear increment detector fan format view (Figure 2F), or an equal angular increment source fan format view (Figure 2G). In a backprojector mode, the projector is addressed by line and row addresses of a pixel of the output memory. A look-up table (76) and a multiplier (82) generate a weighting function (W). A multiplier (78) and an adding means (80) along with the look-up table convert the memory addresses into an appropriate address for a line of view data stored in a projector memory (60). An element of view data retrieved in response to the received address is multiplied (84) by the weighting function. In a forward projector mode, a parallel ray forward projection configuration (92) is provided. A view format transform assembly (90) transforms other format view designations and addresses into the corresponding parallel ray format view designations and addresses.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for approximating x-ray detector data from a malfunctioning computed tomography detector. A view of data is gathered for each of a plurality of detectors in a stationary detector scanner. Data from malfunctioning detectors is approximated by averaging the data from closely adjacent detectors after a preferred gradient is chosen to establish which detector data is to be averaged.
