摘要: A medical imaging system includes a generally stationary gantry (102) and a rotating gantry (106), rotatably supported by the generally stationary gantry (102), that rotates about a longitudinal axis around an examination region. The medical imaging system further includes a radiation source (112) that emits a radiation beam that traverses the examination region. The radiation source (112) is moveably affixed to the rotating gantry (106) so as to translate in a direction of the longitudinal axis with respect to the rotating gantry (106) while scanning a subject in the examination region. The medical imaging system further includes a detector array (120) that detects the radiation beam that traverses the examination region and generates a signal indicative thereof. The detector array (120) is moveably affixed to the rotating gantry (106) so as to move in coordination with the radiation source (112) while scanning the subject in the examination region.

摘要: A scanning method and apparatus useful for correcting artifacts which may appear in a primary short circular CT scan are provided. A secondary helical scan performed on a stationary subject, or a secondary circular scan, may be used to correct for artifacts. The secondary scan may be performed with a smaller radiation dosage than the primary circular CT scan.

摘要: To scan an object with differently shaped cone beams (112, 122), the present invention provides a CT scanner with a moveable X-ray tube (the meaning of “move the x-ray tube among a plurality of predefined positions” also covers the situation that the anode disk is moved among a plurality of corresponding positions, while the shell of the x-ray tube does not move). The X-ray tube is not only moveable along the axial direction, but also along the radial direction of the CT scanner gantry. The scanner comprises an X-ray tube, which X-ray tube further comprises: an anode disk (100), comprising a plurality of focal tracks (110, 120) each focal track being cone-shaped with an anode angle (114, 124) different from the anode angle(s) of the other focal track(s); and a first cathode (210), configured to emanate an electron beam targeting at least one of the plurality of focal tracks. When different focal tracks are bombarded by electron beams, different X-ray beams (112, 122) with differently shaped cone beams are generated.

摘要: A computed tomography apparatus (10) includes spaced radiation sources (82, 84), such as anodes, which each propagate a cone-beam of radiation (40, 50) into an examination region (14). A detector (22) detects radiation which has passed through the examination region. An attenuation system (55) interposed between the radiation sources and the examination region for cone-angle dependent filtering of the cone beams. The attenuation system allows rays which contribute little to a reconstructed image to be attenuated more than rays which contribute more.

摘要: The invention relates to an imaging apparatus (31) for imaging an object. A reconstruction unit (12) determines component projection data values, which correspond to, for example, a base material of the object, and reconstructs an image of the object based on the determined component projection data values. A component projection data value, which corresponds to a ray, is determined as a combination of weighted base functions, which depend on energy projection data values of the same ray and the orientation of the same ray. This allows considering a possible dependency of the corresponding decomposition on the orientation of the ray, thereby allowing the imaging apparatus to improve the quality of decomposing the provided energy projection data values into the component projection data values and thus of a finally reconstructed image of the object, which is reconstructed based on the component projection data values.
