    摘要: A method and system for dual energy image registration is disclosed. In order to segment first and second images of a dual energy image pair, the first and second images are preprocessed to detect edges in the images. Gaussian pyramids, having multiple pyramid images corresponding to multiple pyramid levels, are generated for the first and second images. An initial optical flow value is initialized for a first pyramid level, and the optical flow value is sequentially updated for each pyramid level based on the corresponding pyramid images using an optimization function having a similarity measure and a regularizer. This results in a final optical flow value between the first and second images, and the first and second images are registered based on the final optical flow value.

    摘要: A method and system for suppressing bone structures based on a single x-ray image is disclosed. The bone structure suppressing method predicts a soft-tissue image without bone structures from an input x-ray image. A set of features is extracted for each pixel of the input x-ray image. A soft-tissue image is then generated from the input x-ray image using a trained regression function to determine an intensity value for the soft-tissue image corresponding to each pixel of the input x-ray image based on the set of features extracted for each pixel of the input x-ray image. The extracted features can be wavelet features and the regression function can be trained using Bayesian Committee Machine (BCM) to approximate Gaussian process regression (GPR).

    摘要: A system and method for image reconstruction is disclosed. The method divides iterative image reconstruction into two stages, in the image and Radon space, respectively. In the first stage, filtered back projection and adaptive filtering in the image space are combined to generate a refined reconstructed image of a sinogram residue. This reconstructed image represents an update direction in the image space. In the second stage, the update direction is transformed to the Radon space, and a step size is determined to minimize a difference between the sinogram residue and a Radon transform of the refined reconstructed image of the sinogram residue in the Radon space. These stages are repeated iteratively until the solution converges.

    摘要: A method and system for improving image quality by compounding a plurality of images to mitigate the effects of image noise. The method utilizes the independency between noise components for multiple image compounding. An effective measurement is designed to regularize the independency between noise in a traditional generative model based filtering framework, thereby enabling a more robust algorithmic solution to inaccurate signal/noise modeling. The method generally comprises selecting a plurality of images, calculating the residual error on each image; calculating the noise likelihood of each image, calculating the signal likelihood of the image, performing an independence analysis to regularize an independence constraint between the residual errors of the images, and summing the signal likelihood, noise likelihood and pairwise independency to approximate the joint independency between the residual errors.
