Abstract:
A tomography apparatus includes a data acquirer which acquires a first image which corresponds to a first time point and a second image which corresponds to a second time point by performing a tomography scan on an object; an image reconstructor which acquires first information which relates to a relationship between a motion amount of the object and the time based on a motion amount between the first image and the second image, predicts a third image which corresponds to a third time point between the first and second time points based on the first information, corrects the first information by using the predicted third image and measured data which corresponds to the third time point, and reconstructs the third image by using the corrected first information; and a display which displays the reconstructed third image.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method of processing a medical image are provided. The apparatus is configured to generate a cross-sectional image of an object by transmitting X-rays through a region of the object, and includes an X-ray generator configured to generate the X-rays. The apparatus further includes a controller configured to determine sub-regions included in the region, based on positions of body parts included in the region, determine image qualities of the sub-regions based on types of the body parts included in the sub-regions, control doses of the X-rays based on the image qualities, and control the X-ray generator to transmit the controlled X-rays to the region.
Abstract:
A tomography apparatus is provided that include a controller configured to acquire a point spread function (PSF) map representing a PSF that varies according to a position in a field of view (FOV) created within a gantry, and an image processor configured to acquire a final tomography image by deblurring a tomography image based on the acquired PSF map.
Abstract:
A tomography method for generating a computed tomography (CT) image, including generating a first tomography image based on first raw data corresponding to a received X-ray comprising acquired photons; determining second raw data by generating a second tomography image having an increased resolution in comparison with the first tomography image and performing forward projection on the second tomography image; determining third raw data based on a first parameter, the first raw data, and the second raw data; and generating a third tomography image based on the third raw data, wherein the determining of the third raw data may be based on information about a distribution of the acquired photons, the information being included in at least one from among the first raw data and the second raw data.
Abstract:
A tomography apparatus includes an image processor configured to obtain a first image, which is a partial image of an object, by using data obtained from a first angle section corresponding to a first point, and to obtain a second image, which is a partial image of the object, by using data obtained from a second angle section corresponding to a second point subsequent to the first point; and a controller configured to obtain first information representing a brightness change, to obtain second information representing a rate of change in a Hounsfield unit (HU) value between the first point and the second point based on the first information, and to determine a tomography start point of the object based on the second information.
Abstract:
A tomography apparatus includes a data acquirer configured to obtain a first partial image and a second partial image of an object based on data that is obtained respectively at a first angular section corresponding to a first time and at a second angular section corresponding to a second time during a tomography scan of the object that is moving, a controller configured to determine first information indicating a motion amount of the object in a first area of an entire image based on the first partial image and the second partial image, and determine second information indicating a degree of blur of a point included in the object in the first area based on the first information, and an image processor configured to correct the first area based on the first information and the second information, and output a tomography image based on the corrected first area.
Abstract:
A tomography apparatus includes an image processor configured to reconstruct a tomography image by using pieces of image data that are acquired during partial periods included in a heartbeat period; and a display configured to display a screen image, which includes information representing the heartbeat period, and the reconstructed tomography image, and on which the partial periods and image sections corresponding to the partial periods are displayed in association with each other.
