    摘要: Images of an object, such as OCT scans of a human eye, can include distortions and data gaps due to relative motion of the object and the image acquisition device. Methods and systems for correction of such distortions and data gaps are described herein. Motion-corrected data is arrived at by applying three-dimensional transforms to input three-dimensional data sets that represent at least partially overlapping regions of the imaged object. The three dimensional transforms are computed based on an objective function that accounts for similarity between the transformed three-dimensional data sets and the estimated motion of the object relative to an imaging instrument. Methods and systems described herein advantageously eliminate the need for postulated assumptions and reliance on landmarks and are capable of filling data gaps, thereby producing high quality, undistorted images of objects subject to movement during imaging. Multiple motion-corrected data sets can be merged or combined to produce a data set with improved image quality.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for three-dimensional presentation of a moved structure using a tomographic method, in which a plurality of projection images are recorded from different imaging angles between a start angle with a start node point and an end angle with an end node point by an imaging unit during a number of rotation passes, with three-dimensional image data being able to be reconstructed from the projection images, with the projection images being spaced by a path or an edge. For determining the three-dimensional presentation for each angle of projection only those projection images are selected which minimize the sum of the paths or weighted edges between adjacent projection angles for a gating.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for correcting truncation artifacts in a reconstruction method for computed tomography recordings. The projection images are recorded by an x-ray image detector being extended by determining the attenuation of the radiation outside the projection image for pixels. Non-horizontal filter lines are extended by transaxial and axial artificial extension of the x-ray image detector for the purposes of truncation correction. The truncation correction for non-horizontal filter lines being carried out according to a method from at least one of the following groups: truncation correction takes place regardless of the specific location and orientation of the filter lines; truncation correction takes place as a function of the specific position and orientation of the filter lines, with the filter lines themselves being retained; and truncation correction takes place by introducing new modified filter lines, with filtering taking place along offset artificially extended filter lines.

    摘要: Two sequences (13, 15) of data sets (14, 16) having at least two dimensions and referring to an object (17) which changes over time are specified to a computer (1). Each data set (14, 16) in each sequence (13, 15) is assigned a measure of time which can be used to determine the temporal relationship of the data sets (14, 16) to the other data sets (14, 16) in the respective sequence (13, 15). The computer (1) compares the first data set (14) in the first sequence (13) with the data sets (16) in the second sequence (15) and automatically determines a first data set (16) from the second sequence (15) corresponding to a first data set (14) from the first sequence (13). With the aid of the corresponding first data sets (14, 16) in the first and second sequences (13, 15) and the measures of time assigned to the data sets (14, 16), the computer then determines, for each of the other data sets (14) in the first sequence, the corresponding data set (16) from the second sequence.

    摘要: A method for model based motion tracking of a catheter during an ablation procedure includes receiving a training series of biplanar fluoroscopic images of a catheter acquired under conditions that will be present during an ablation procedure, segmenting and processing the series of biplanar images to produce a distance transform image for each biplanar image at each acquisition time, minimizing, for each pair of biplanar images at each acquisition time, a cost function of the distance transform image for each pair of biplanar images to yield a translation parameter that provides a best fit for a model of the catheter to each pair of biplanar images at each acquisition time, and calculating an updated catheter model for each acquisition time from said translation parameter.
