    摘要: A method is disclosed for reconstruction of image data of an object under examination from measurement data, with the measurement data having been captured during a relative rotational movement between a radiation source of a computed tomography system and the object under examination. In at least one embodiment, first image data is computed by the measurement data being modified to obtain a specific gray value characteristic of the first image data to be reconstructed and the first image data is computed by way of an iterative algorithm using the modified measurement data. Second image data is also computed by a series of chronologically-consecutive images being reconstructed and processing being carried out on the series of images to reduce temporal noise. Finally a combination of the first and the second image data is carried out.

    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 and a device are disclosed for generating a CT image with a high time resolution using a computed tomography scanner which has at least two recording systems which are operated at different X-ray energy spectra. In at least one embodiment of the process, CT images are firstly reconstructed in each case from a semi-rotation with the two recording systems, with irradiated lengths of the contrast agent-enriched structures and the soft tissue being calculated therefrom. Subsequently, a common X-ray energy is assumed and artificial measurement data records are calculated therefor, using the knowledge of the irradiated lengths for both recording systems at the same common X-ray energy. The artificial measurement data of respectively a quarter-rotation per recording system is then used to calculate the final CT image with a high time resolution. The method affords the use of dual-energy scans without losing the high time resolution available in dual-source systems.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for a multislice computer assisted tomograph, capable of carrying out a spiral scan of an object volume with a pitch p selected to be small enough that each slice of the object volume is multiply detected during the spiral scan. The method includes calculating, using measured data of two temporally consecutive at least one of revolutions and half revolutions, an image of the object volume from which a change inside the object volume between the two temporally consecutive at least one of revolutions and half revolutions is directly visible. An embodiment of the method can permit, for example, the detection and visualization of dynamic processes with an enhanced time resolution.
