    摘要: Motion is one of the most critical sources of artifacts in helical conebeam CT. By comparing opposite rays corresponding to projection data, the amount of motion may be estimated and, in the following suppression of corresponding motion artifacts may be performed according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The method of motion artifact compensation may be implemented in both approximate reconstruction algorithms and exact reconstruction algorithms. Advantageously, motion during the data acquisition is detected automatically and related motion artifacts may be suppressed adaptively.

    摘要: An imaging modality, in particular a mobile CT system, comprises an imaging system for imaging an object to be examined. The imaging modality is also provided with an image guided surgery system which includes a position measuring system for measuring positions within the object and a data processor for deriving a transformation between positions within the object and the corresponding positions in the image. The position measuring device is also arranged to measure the position of the imaging system and the data processor is arranged to derive the transformation from the position and/or orientation of the imaging system. The position measuring system is notably an optical position measuring system which is arranged to measure the position of the gantry of the CT system. The data processor is arranged to derive the transformation from the measured position of the gantry. A highly accurate result is obtained when a calibration is carried out which links the position of the CT gantry to the position of the scanning plane.

    摘要: The noise of a detection value acquired by an imaging system (30) can depend on the contributions of different components within a region of interest to be imaged, which has been traversed by radiation (4) causing the respective acquired detection value. This dependence is considered while iteratively reconstructing an image of the region of interest, wherein first component attenuation values, which correspond to elements of a first component within the region of interest, and second component attenuation values, which correspond to elements of a first component within the region of interest, are determined, wherein noise values are determined from the first component attenuation values and the second component attenuation values and wherein the noise values are used for updating the image. This consideration of the dependence of the noise of an acquired detection value on the different components improves the quality of the iteratively reconstructed image.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an X-ray examination device and a corresponding method. A fast and periodical modulation of the X-ray flux within each detection interval is performed having a low X-ray flux at the beginning of the detection interval to ensure that no detection channel is overloaded. With increasing the X-ray flux particularly the peripheral detection channels will rum into saturation, which is detected. A saturated detector channel is stopped from further detecting radiation, and the time of effective radiation detection without saturation is measured for correcting those detection signals. From all detection signals, after any correction of detection signals from saturated detection channels, an X-ray image can be reconstructed.

The image generation system comprises a measured data providing unit for providing measured data of the region of interest, a reconstruction unit (12) for reconstructing a first and a second image of the region of interest from the measured data using a first and a second reconstruction method, a noise determination unit (13) for determining first and second noise values for first and second image elements of the first and second image, and an image element combining unit (14) for combining corresponding first and second image elements into combined image elements forming a combined image based on the first and second noise values. By combining corresponding image elements of two differently reconstructed images based on determined noise values, a combined image of a region of interest can be generated with an improved quality.
