    摘要: A method includes displaying at least one of projection data or reconstructed image data having visually observable artifacts, wherein the at least one of the projection data or the reconstructed image data corresponds to an imaging examination of an object or subject and displaying, concurrently with the at least one of the projection data or the reconstructed image data, sample images with known artifacts. The method further includes identifying one or more of the sample images having artifacts similar to the visually observable artifacts in the at least one of the projection data or the reconstructed image data. The method further includes displaying information about the identified one or more of the sample images, wherein the information includes information related to mitigating the visually observable artifacts.

    摘要: A hybrid imaging system including a first imaging system configured to acquire low resolution anatomical data of a first field of view of an anatomical structure. A second imaging system is configured to acquire functional data of the first field of view of the anatomical structure. A reconstruction processor is configured to reconstruct the functional data based on attenuation data into an attenuation corrected image. In response to the attenuation corrected image showing regions of interest, with the first imaging system or another imaging system acquiring high resolution data of one or more portions of the first field of view containing the regions of interest. The reconstruction processor reconstructs the high resolution anatomical data into one or more high resolution images of the regions of interest.

    摘要: When generating a 3D image of a subject or patient, a cone beam X-ray source (20a, 20b) is mounted to a rotatable gantry (14) opposite an offset flat panel X-ray detector (22a, 22b). A wedge-shaped attenuation filter (24a, 24b) of suitable material (e.g., aluminum or the like) is adjustably positioned in the cone beam to selectively attenuate the beam as a function of the shape, size, and density of a volume of interest (18) through which X-rays pass in order to maintain X-ray intensity or gain at a relatively constant level within a range of acceptable levels.
