摘要:
An apparatus and a method for correcting a CT slice image for an image artifact (330) caused by the motion of a high attenuation part (140) in an object (135) of interest. The CT slice image is based on projection images (310a,b). The apparatus and method uses a footprint (315a,b) of the part in each of the projection images (310a,b).

The present invention is directed to a limited angle tomography in combination with a filtered back projection using a special filter operator X. The filter operator X used within the present invention makes it possible to perform region of interest reconstructions although delivering high quality reconstruction images as generated by high effort S ART methods. The used filter operator is purely and solely mathematically determined and defined by the spatial geometry which is used for the limited angle tomography. Without having the need to perform several iterations, the present invention directly calculates a solution, i.e. reconstructed image, equivalent to known iteratively construction methods. Although, incomplete projection data p may only be used, the present invention provides for a high image quality.

A medical system includes an IVUS medical device (102) configured for intravenous deployment, the IVUS device (102) comprising a ultrasound probe (302) for intravenous recording of the lumen and vessel geometry in which the IVUS device is deployed. A shape sensing system (104) is mounted on or in the IVUS device and comprises a single electromagnetic sensor at a tip of the IVUS device. This single electromagnetic sensor is configured to measure a position of the tip of the IVUS device during the intravenous deployment. A motion compensation algorithm (140) is configured to restore the 3D shape of the IVUS device from IVUS measurements and said position of the tip as the IVUS device is moved along the vessel.

A system for planning radiation treatment therapy is provided. An optical sensor device is implanted within or in close proximity to a risk region within the patient during a radiation delivery. The sensor device optically monitors the orientation of the risk region, and the radiation dosage received by the risk region, during the radiation delivery. That information may be used as appropriate to modify an on-going radiation delivery plan in real time while the plan is being implemented.

A double focal spot X-ray tube is used to acquire a set of two images PIα, PIβ for a given gantry position from slightly different view positions. The stereo or binocular disparity (BD) of imaged structures is used to estimate the object depth in view direction, which in turn is used to discriminate between objects inside IO and outside EO the body. Respective structures are virtually removed from the images PIα, PIβ.

The present invention relates to a sensor device for detecting dose of radiation received at the sensor device, the sensor device comprising a flexible body having a cross-section being comparatively small relative to the length of the device, a cladding at the flexible body, the cladding converting incoming radiation into visible light, and an optical shape sensing device disposed within the flexible body and configured to determine a shape of the flexible instrument relative to a reference, the shape sensing device configured to collect information based on its configuration to map an intraluminal structure during a procedure. The present invention further relates to a radiation therapy system including such a sensor device and a method of operating a radiation therapy system including such a sensor device.

The present invention relates to a C-arm X-ray imaging system. In order to provide C-arm systems with an extended three-dimensional field of view, a C-arm X-ray imaging system (10), provided to acquire extended three-dimensional images of an object, is provided, comprising a C-arm structure (12) with an X-ray source (14) and an X-ray detector (16) mounted across from the X-ray source, a motorized drive (22) for a rotational movement of the C-arm structure, and a control unit (26). The C-arm structure is provided to perform a rotational scan around an axis of rotation and around an ISO-centre acquiring a number of X- ray projections in order to generate image data for a reconstructed three-dimensional field of view. The control unit is configured to control the motorized drive, and to cause the rotational movement of the C-arm structure to perform a first rotational X-ray scan (50) around a first ISO-centre (56) with a first axis of rotation for a first field of view, and to perform at least a second rotational X-ray scan (60) around a second ISO-centre (62) with a second axis of rotation for a second field of view. The first and the second centre of rotation are displaced in relation to each other such that a connection line between the first and the second ISO-centre is arranged transverse to the first and the second axis of rotation.
