    摘要: A method and apparatus for tailoring the profile of an x-ray beam for radiographic imaging for a specific subject is disclosed. The invention includes a filter assembly having a pair of filters, each of which may be dynamically controlled by a motor assembly during data acquisition. The filters are positionable in the x-ray beam so as to shape the intensity profile of the x-ray beam. In one exemplary embodiment, the filters are dynamically positioned during CT data acquisition based on the shape of the subject. A method of determining the shape of the subject prior to CT data acquisition is also disclosed.

    摘要: A method for reconstructing tilted cone beam data acquired using a CT apparatus. The CT apparatus has a gantry and a table. The gantry has an x-ray source and a detector array with columns and rows. The gantry is tilted at a gantry tilt angle with respect to the table and a plurality of projection data is acquired using the CT apparatus. Fan-parallel rebinning is performed on a row by row basis to form a plurality of reconstructed pixels. The coordinate locations of the plurality of reconstructed pixels are adjusted based on the gantry tilt angle and used to form a reconstructed image.

    摘要: A method for performing reference normalization for an image created by an imaging system. The imaging system includes a radiation detector array with a right and left edge. The method includes receiving a projection dataset created by the imaging system in response to a varying x-ray tube current. The projection dataset includes a view and predicted fluxes are calculated for the set of reference channels within the view. A right set of reference channels are located proximate at the right edge of the detector array and a left set of reference channels are located proximate to the left edge of the detector array. The method also includes calculating average actual fluxes for the sets of reference channels. Based on the predicted reference fluxes and the average fluxes, a reference correction value for the view is determined. The correction value is applied for the reference correction of the view.
