    摘要: A method includes estimating structure models for a voxel(s) of a spectral image based on a noise model, fitting structure models to a 3D neighborhood about the voxel(s), selecting one of the structure models for the voxel(s) based on the fittings and predetermined model selection criteria, and de-noising the voxel(s) based on the selected structure model, producing a set of de-noised spectral images. Another method includes generating a virtual contrast enhanced intermediate image for each energy image of a set of spectral images corresponding to different energy ranges based on de-noised spectral images, decomposed de-noised spectral images, an iodine map, and a contrast enhancement factor; and generating final virtual contrast enhanced images by incorporating a simulated partial volume effect with the intermediate virtual contrast enhanced images. Also described herein are approaches for generating a virtual non-contrasted image, a bone and calcification segmentation map, and an iodine map for multi-energy imaging studies.

    摘要: A method and system for dual energy CT image reconstruction are provided. In one aspect, a fast kVp switching x-ray source is used during an imaging scan to produce a low energy x-ray beam for L consecutive projection angles, and then to produce a high energy x-ray beam for H consecutive projection angles, wherein L is substantially less than H. Various methods are provided for estimating the resulting undersampled data in the low energy projection data set and the high energy projection data set. The missing low energy projection data may be estimated from the known high energy projection data using any one of several disclosed structural propagation embodiments.
