    摘要: The invention relates to an image processing method for improving the signal-to-noise ratio for a series of MR images or CT images which are based on the projection-reconstruction method. First the pixels which reproduce the same sub-structure in the projection images are determined in the one-dimensional projection images constituting the two-dimensional MR or CT images. The image values of these pixels are subjected to noise filtering. Two-dimensional MR images or CT images are reconstructed from the noise filtered one-dimensional projection images.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of forming a series of MR images in which, in the presence of a steady magnetic field, sequences comprising at least an RF pulse and a magnetic gradient field which is varied from one sequence to another are continuously applied to the examination zone, from the image signals thus generated there being reconstructed MR images, the oldest MR signals used for the reconstruction of an MR image being replaced upon reconstruction of the next MR image by the respective newly generated MR signals. Low-artefact reproduction of dynamic processes in the examination zone can be achieved by varying the direction of the magnetic gradient field active during the generation of an MR signal from one sequence to another so that the range of the magnetic gradient field directions required for the reconstruction is distributed between the respective newly generated MR signals. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out this method.

    摘要: A method for the three-dimensional reconstruction of an object, or its surroundings, in a moving body volume of a patient includes obtaining a series of X-ray projection photographs produced from different directions, with a relevant ECG phase or respiration being recorded simultaneously. Projection photographs of the moving body volume are transformed such that the images of feature points that are located on the projection photographs respectively come to rest at a place on which randomly set spatial reference positions for the feature points are projected. With the projection photographs aligned onto the reference positions, three-dimensional reconstruction of the object can subsequently take place.
