摘要:
A method is disclosed for reconstructing image data of a moving examination object from measurement data, wherein the measurement data was captured in the course of a relative rotational movement between a radiation source of a computed tomography system and the examination object. In at least one embodiment of the method, a first image of the examination object is calculated from a complete measurement data record of the measurement data for an image reconstruction and a second image of the examination object is calculated from an incomplete measurement data record of the measurement data for an image reconstruction. Frequency splitting of the first and second images takes place respectively in at least one low-frequency and one higher-frequency component and the image data of the second image is supplemented in the low-frequency component with image data of the low-frequency component of the first image. In a further processing step the second image thus supplemented is improved using the first image, in that errors due to the incompleteness of the measurement data record of the second image are reduced.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for reconstructing image data of an examination subject from measured data, wherein the measured data was acquired in the course of a relative rotational movement between a radiation source of a computed tomography system and the examination subject. A limited area between the radiation source and a detector represents a field of view in respect of which measured data can be acquired, and parts of the examination subject were located at least temporarily outside the field of view in the course of the measured data acquisition. In at least one embodiment, first image data is reconstructed from the measured data, and a boundary of the examination subject is determined with the aid of the first image data. The first image data is subsequently modified using the determined boundary, and projection data is calculated from the modified first image data. The measured data is modified using the projection data, and finally second image data is reconstructed from the modified measured data.

A method and an image reconstruction device are disclosed for reconstructing image data on the basis of input projection data obtained via an X-ray computerized tomography system. A target convolutional kernel is selected, which, when reconstructing image data from the input projection data using simple filtered back projection, would lead to target image characteristics. Image data is then reconstructed using an iterative reconstruction method of at least one embodiment. In at least one embodiment, the method includes a) reconstructing image data of a first iterative stage from the input projection data, b) generating synthetic projection data on the basis of the image data of the current iterative stage, c) forming difference projection data on the basis of the input projection data and the synthetic projection data, d) generating residue image data from the difference projection data, e) combining the residue image data with the image data of the current iterative stage to form image data of an additional iterative stage, wherein the image data of the current iterative stage is subjected to filtering before or during combination with the residue image data by using a regularization convolutional kernel which is determined on the basis of the selected target convolutional kernel, and f) repeating b) to e) until a termination condition occurs.

A method is disclosed for scanning an examination object with a CT system and the generation of at least one computed tomographic sectional view from data obtained from the scanning and a CT system. In at least one embodiment, data used for generating the at least one sectional image is filtered out with different intensities as a function of a predetermined time range and/or projection angle range of the measurement of high local frequencies.

A method is for recording and evaluating image data with the aid of a tomography machine. At least two recordings with different spectral distribution are made of an examination area of an object. Further, measured data obtained from the two recordings are evaluated such that additional information relating to the examination area and/or a specific representation of the image of the examination area are/is obtained from the different spectral distributions. The tomography machine includes at least two separate recording systems. Further, it is operated such that the two recording systems operate with a different spectral distribution. As such, the additional information and the specific representation of an image can be obtained in conjunction with a reduced scanning time.

A method is disclosed for a multislice computer assisted tomograph, capable of carrying out a spiral scan of an object volume with a pitch p selected to be small enough that each slice of the object volume is multiply detected during the spiral scan. The method includes calculating, using measured data of two temporally consecutive at least one of revolutions and half revolutions, an image of the object volume from which a change inside the object volume between the two temporally consecutive at least one of revolutions and half revolutions is directly visible. An embodiment of the method can permit, for example, the detection and visualization of dynamic processes with an enhanced time resolution.
摘要:
A method and a computed tomograph produce CT images of high resolution by circular scanning of a moving object by scanning sub-segments in a number of successive rest phases of an object under examination, and by respectively reconstructing and reformatting the sub-segments in order subsequently to add up a number of tomograms of the sub-segments. The sum of the sub-segments as a whole reproduce a complementary half segment of a circuit of the focus about the examination object. The moving object is thereby completely scanned, without lateral movement, by the beam being used.

A method is for production of tomographic section images, in particular X-ray CT images, of an at least partially periodically moving examination object with periodically changing movement and rest phases, preferably of a heart of a living being. A number of focus detector combinations are used, with the time resolution of the CT scanner being significantly increased by supplementary combination of detector data in the correct phase. On the one hand, a number of focus detector combinations which scan an examination object at the same time are used; and on the other hand a number of adjacent movement cycles of a periodically moving examination object are performed.

A method and an X-ray system are disclosed for reduction of the radiation dose used within the framework of an imaging X-ray examination. In at least one embodiment, for each pixel of a recorded image, structure information of a structure which may be present at a distance around the examined pixel is determined and a direction-dependent lowpass filter is applied to the pixel examined in each case, which filter's spatial coverage is less than the distance and which takes into account the morphological information of a structure which may be present with a direction-dependent weighting of the lowpass filter.
