    摘要: An exact image reconstruction method for computed tomography allows the reconstruction of a sub-volume of interest in a long subject from cone beam or pyramid beam CT data using a spiral focus path. A two-stage reconstruction process is utilized that, by line integration over the detector, first calculates 3D radon values of a sub-volume of interest defined only for the respective .phi.-plane for each .phi.-plane of a 3D spherical coordinate system. For each .phi.-plane, the sub-volume of interest is limited toward the exterior by the radius of the measurement field and is upwardly and downwardly limited by curved surfaces that arise by the locus of a straight line perpendicular to the .phi.-plane under consideration proceeding to each focus point of a spiral segment.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for production of tomographic slice images of an examination object using a computed tomography scanner. In order to scan an examination object, at least two X-ray beams are produced, which each are at offset angles and fan out from a focus to an opposite detector and scan the examination object. The scans at least partially overlap. Detector output data which is emitted from the detector elements is measured together with physical orientation data of the beams and is converted to projection data sets. Slice images are then calculated. In order to calculate the complete slice images, data which is redundant from the measured data of the at least two X-ray beams from overlapping projection intervals is used for each complete slice image. The size of the overlap area of the projection data used from the individual X-ray beams is defined before the calculation of the slice images, in order to vary time resolution and image quality.

    摘要: In an image reconstruction method for a multi-row detector computed tomography apparatus operable in a helical/spiral scan mode, a spiral reconstruction with arbitrary pitch and an improvement of the z resolution with interlaced sampling are achieved by using the known Wang reconstruction algorithm expanded by a new type of interpolation technique wherein direct and complementary projections are employed those beams of either the direct or complementary projection always being selected which exhibit the smallest distance in the z-direction from the relevant voxel to be reconstructed.

    摘要: In an approximative image reconstruction method for a computed tomography apparatus with a multi-row detector in spiral operation, a reinterpolation from fan data to parallel data (rebinning) is first carried out independently for all rows of the detector. With the parallel data, an image is reconstructed by having each beam contribute to the image with a weight that depends on the respective distance of the beam to the image plane. Each beam thereby receives a weight that, in general, changes along the beam. By approximating these weighting functions by a short Fourier series, an efficient Fourier reconstruction results.

    摘要: In a method and CT apparatus and software product for reconstructing incomplete projection data sets for dose-reduced sectional spiral scanning along a axis of a patient on a table that is movable in the z direction in the CT apparatus that has a radiation source supplied with tube current so as to emit a beam that strikes a detector system to obtain scanning data from which in an image computing device generates two-dimensional and three-dimensional scanning images of the examination subject, at a pitch greater or equal to one. For z positions having an incomplete projection data set for reconstruction of the image, in a preprocessing step data from another row of this projection and/or data for a previous or subsequent 360° rotation are used to compute a complete projection data set therefor.
