    摘要: In a method and apparatus for reducing line artifacts in a CT image D1, which is acquired during a scan by a CT device with a detector system having a number of proper detector channels and at least one defective detector channel, the image M1 is obtained first by a median filtering the image D1, which contains a circle artifact on a circle K1. A difference value image F1=D1−M1 is then produced. Filtering then is carried out in each picture element of the image F1 in the direction of the tangents t11 and t21 to the circle K1 extending through the respective picture element in order to produce two resulting images G11 and G21. A correction image D2 is subsequently produced by subtracting the resulting images G11 and G21 from D1.

    摘要: An X-ray computed tomography apparatus has a radiation detector composed of X-ray converters so that the scattering of light in a scintillator or the inductive disturbance in a directly converting semiconductor is minimized or eliminated. Each X-ray converter, e.g. a scintillator is in fixed contact with a number of signal converters, e.g. photodiodes. From the output signals of the signal converters, the unsharpness can be calculated and then compensated.

    摘要: At least one embodiment of the invention relates to a method for the reconstruction of image data of an examined object from measuring data, wherein the measuring data were detected by a detector within and outside of its Tam-Danielsson window during a relative spiral movement between a radiation source of a computer tomography system and the examined object. As a result of the spiral movement, the measuring data outside of the Tam-Danielsson contain interruptions. A mathematically precise first reconstruction of first image data is realized in at least one embodiment based on the measuring data by using only measuring data from the Tam-Danielsson window. A mathematically precise second reconstruction is furthermore realized of second image data from the measuring data in at least one embodiment, using at least among other things measuring data from outside of the Tam-Danielsson window, wherein the interruption of the measuring data is compensated for by using existing measuring data and/or the first image data and/or other image data obtained from existing measuring data. Finally, the first image data and the second image data are combined.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for generating computed tomography image data of a volume of interest from X-ray CT data sets generated by a computed tomography system during scanning of an examination subject on a helical path rotating around a longitudinal system axis in the infeed direction. In at least one embodiment, at least two volume-based reconstructions of the volume of interest are performed by way of differential back-projection over surfaces constituted by different groups of M-lines, followed in each case by an inverse Hilbert transformation. The method further includes combining different reconstructed volumes to form a final reconstruction of the volume of interest.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for reconstructing image data of an examination subject from measured data, wherein the measured data was acquired in the course of a relative rotational movement between a radiation source of a computed tomography system and the examination subject. A limited area between the radiation source and a detector represents a field of view in respect of which measured data can be acquired, and parts of the examination subject were located at least temporarily outside the field of view in the course of the measured data acquisition. In at least one embodiment, first image data is reconstructed from the measured data, and a boundary of the examination subject is determined with the aid of the first image data. The first image data is subsequently modified using the determined boundary, and projection data is calculated from the modified first image data. The measured data is modified using the projection data, and finally second image data is reconstructed from the modified measured data.
