    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 for enhancing a virtual non-contrast image, includes receiving a pair of dual scan CT images and calculating a virtual non-contrast image from the pair of CT images using known tissue attenuation coefficients. A conditional probability distribution is estimated for tissue at first and second points in each of the pair of CT images and the virtual non-contrast image as being the same type. A conditional probability distribution for tissue is estimated at the first and second points in each of the pair of CT images and the virtual non-contrast image as being of different types. An a posteriori probability of the tissue at the first and second points as being the same type is calculated from the conditional probability distributions, and an enhanced virtual non-contrast image is calculated using the a posteriori probability of the tissue at the first and second points as being the same type.

    摘要: A method and system for soft tissue image reconstruction for dual x-ray imaging is disclosed. A multigrid PDE solver is used for solving a Poisson equation for soft tissue image reconstruction based on a soft tissue gradient field extracted from dual energy x-ray images. The divergence of the soft tissue gradient field is downsampled to a coarsest resolution level, and a soft tissue image is generated based on the divergence of the soft tissue gradient field at the coarsest level. The soft tissue image is interpolated to a next finest resolution level, and refined by at least one coarse grid correction cycle at the current resolution level. The coarse grid correction cycle calculates a defect based on the current soft tissue image, downsamples the defect to the coarsest level, calculates a correction based on the defect at the coarsest level, and upsamples the correction to the current resolution level to refine the current soft tissue image. The interpolation and refinement of the soft tissue image is repeated until the soft tissue image is refined at the finest resolution level.

    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).
