    摘要: An optical shape sensing system employing an elongated device (20), an optical fiber (10) embedded within the elongated device (20) with the optical fiber (10) including one or more cores, an optical interrogation console (30) and a 3D shape reconstructor (40). In operation, the optical interrogation console (30) generates reflection spectrum data indicative of a measurement of both an amplitude and a phase of a reflection for each core of the optical fiber (10) as a function of wavelength and the 3D shape reconstructor (40) reconstructs a 3D shape of the optical fiber (10). The 3D shape reconstructor (40) executes a generation of local strain data for a plurality of positions along the optical fiber (10) responsive to the reflection spectrum data, a generation of local curvature and torsion angle data as a function of each local strain along the fiber, and a reconstruction of the 3D shape of the optical fiber (10) as a function of each local curvature and torsion angle along the optical fiber (10).

    摘要: Coronary artery segmentation is a crucial task in cardiac CT image processing. This is often a tedious task performed manually by an operator. According to the present invention, a method is provided which combines data from multiple cardiac phases during the segmentation process in order to deliver a complete and continuous coronary vessel tree. Advantageously, this may allow for an improved visualization and segmentation of vessels, for example, in coronary CTA.

    摘要: A ventricular epicardium registration method (60) involves three phases. The first phase (P62) is an identification of one or more anatomical features invisible within ultrasound images (41) of a ventricular epicardium of a heart (10). The second phase (P61) is a representation of the anatomical feature(s) visible within X-ray images (31) of the ventricular epicardium of the heart. The third phase (P63) is a registration of the ultrasound images (41) and the X-ray images (31) of the ventricular epicardium of the heart based on the representation of the anatomical feature(s) invisible in the ultrasound images (41) and on the identification of the anatomical feature(s) visible within the X-ray images (31). Examples of the anatomical feature(s) include, but are not limited to, a portion or an entirety of an epicardial surface (11, 12) and a coronary sinus vein (13).

    摘要: Minimizing the temporal width of the gating window during calculation of the gating function in cardiac CT may not result in best image quality with a maximum of signal-to-noise ratio and minimal artifacts. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the widths of the gating windows in cardiac CT are selected on the basis of a motion model describing the motion of the heart. According to an aspect of the present invention, the widths of the gating windows are determined by considering the duration of stationary cardiac phases. Thus, artifacts, such as motion artifacts or noise, are minimized.

    摘要: It is described a method for acquiring a series of two-dimensional X-ray attenuation data of an object under examination (310) by means of an X-ray imaging apparatus (100) having a rotatable scanning unit (301). In order to increase the angular range of the scanning unit (301), when a region of interest (HOa) located not in the center of the object (310) is examined the object under examination (310) is shifted such that the region of interest is temporarily positioned outside the center of rotation. By coupling the rotational movement of the scanning unit (301) with the translative movement of the object (310) in a synchronized manner a collision between the scanning unit (301) and the object (310) can be effectively avoided. By employing an automated motorized object table (312) a precise pre-determined movement of the object (310) can be achieved during the data acquisition. By using an appropriate phantom based calibration procedure carried out with the same table movements known three-dimensional reconstruction algorithm can be directly applied in order to generate a three-dimensional representation of the region of interest (110a).

    摘要: The invention relates to a computer tomography method in which a bundle of rays passes through an object that is moving periodically, in particular a heart. During the acquisition of measured values, a movement signal dependent on the movement of the object is sensed. From this movement signal are determined periodically repeated phases of movement, after which a plurality of intermediate images of a region of the object are reconstructed, in particular at a low resolution, using measured values whose times of acquisition were situated in different phases of movement, thus enabling each intermediate image to be assigned to a phase of movement. The phase of movement in which the object moved least in the region is then identified by determining the intermediate image having the fewest motion artifacts. Finally, a computer tomographic image of the region is reconstructed, in particular with a high spatial resolution, from measured values whose times of acquisition were situated in the phase of movement in which there was the least movement by the object in said region.
