    摘要: A method, a computer program as well as a corresponding apparatus for eliminating scatter artefacts that corrupt an image of an object using computed tomography, wherein X-ray projections of the object are at least partially truncated, whereas the method comprises the steps of: reconstructing a truncated image of the object with a limited field of view from the projections; constructing a model of the object in an extended field of view using the truncated image of the object; deriving a scatter estimate by means of Monte-Carlo simulation using the model of object; correcting a projection of the object for X-ray scatter based on the scatter estimate; reconstructing a scatter-corrected image using the corrected projections.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an image generation device for generating an image from measured data, wherein image quality is optimized for a region of interest and to an imaging system comprising this image generation device. The image generation device comprises a noise determination unit for determining a distribution of noise in a projection domain of the region of interest, and a dose control unit (32) for determining a dose profile for a radiation source (2) of said image generation device based on said determined distribution of noise by using a noise propagation algorithm. Thereby, signal-to-noise ratio of a reconstructed volume can be improved and is not sensitively dependent on a selected region of interest.
