    摘要: A method is disclosed for reconstructing image data of an examination object from measured data, wherein the measured data was captured previously during a relative rotary motion between a radiation source of a computed tomography system and the examination object. In at least one embodiment, the measured data is modified to achieve a particular grayscale characteristic of the image data to be reconstructed. The image data is calculated by way of an iterative algorithm using the modified measured data, wherein no arithmetic step for reducing noise is employed in the iterations.

    摘要: A method for scattered radiation correction of a CT system, including at least two focus/detector systems operated angularly offset from one another, is disclosed. In the method, at at least one phantom, similar to the examined object at least in a subregion, for at least one of the focus/detector systems, the scattered radiation intensity occurring is determined in the detector of a focus/detector system during the operation of the at least one focus of at least one other focus/detector system. Further, the spatial distribution thereof is stored for a number of angles of rotation of the focus/detector systems. During scanning of the object, the scattered radiation intensities, determined with the aid of a similar phantom that originate from the at least one other focus/detector system, are subtracted from the measured intensities of the first focus/detector system while taking account of the spatial orientation of the focus/detector systems and the beam respectively considered. Finally, absorption values are calculated with the aid of the intensity values thus corrected, and CT pictures or CT volume data are thereby reconstructed.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for scattered radiation correction in x-ray imaging devices having a number of x-ray sources that can be moved around an examination object in at least one scanning plane during a measurement pass. During the measurement pass, a number of x-ray projections are recorded at different projection angles with simultaneous use of the x-ray sources. In at least one embodiment of the present method, parameters characterizing an outer object contour are determined in the scanning plane from measured data of different x-ray projections. In at least one embodiment, on the basis of one object contour section whose characterizing parameters have been determined from x-ray projections that lie in front of and/or behind the respective x-ray projection by a defined projection angle range, for each x-ray projection an assigned scattered radiation distribution is then retrieved or is interpolated in a database from scattered radiation distributions for object contour sections with similar characterizing parameters. This scattered radiation distribution is then used for the correction of the measured data for the respective x-ray projection. In at least one embodiment, the method enables scattered radiation correction in conjunction with operation of the x-ray sources.

    摘要: In a tomography apparatus and operating method, at least two acquisition systems are respectively each disposed in the azimuthal direction at respective specific system angles around a common rotation axis. Both system angles can be determined for a substantially constant rotation angle speed of the two acquisition systems on the basis of measurement values, which are calculated at a rotation angle position of a reference object that can be introduced into both measurement planes. The tomography apparatus in this manner enables artifact-free reconstruction of a slice or volume image using the system angles determined in this manner.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for scattered radiation correction of a CT system including two simultaneously operated focus/detector systems, arranged angularly offset from one another on a rotatable gantry. In an embodiment of the method, in order to scan an object, the two focus/detector systems arranged angularly offset from one another scan the object by virtue of the fact that they rotate about a system axis of the CT system. A multiplicity of absorption values of individual rays are then determined from the measured attenuations of the radiation of the foci and the measured values are subjected to scattered radiation correction. The positive differences for the direct rays are determined in channelwise fashion from the intensity values of the direct rays and the intensity values of the “complementary” rays removed by 180°, and this positive difference is subtracted as scattered radiation correction from the intensity value of the direct ray to determine the attenuation values and to thereafter reconstruct CT tomograms or CT volume data.
