    摘要: The invention relates to a method for evaluating an image dataset obtained by a radiation-based image acquisition device. A scatter background dataset is determined as a function of the image data. The image dataset is corrected pixel by pixel by multiplying the image dataset with the inverse of a function dependent on the quotient of the scatter background data and the image data at a respective pixel. The function is a nonlinear, smooth function determined by a coefficient and having positive derivatives. The absolute value of the function is one for the value zero. The image acquisition parameter dependent coefficient is determined by an optimization process.

    摘要: Two analysis methods for a portal image are disclosed, one to check apparatus setup and the other to check patient positioning. The first involves preparing a reference radiation field image and a sample radiation field image from a reference image and a sample image respectively by, in order, (i) defining a threshold value and (ii) setting pixels within the respective images to a dark or a bright state if darker or brighter than the threshold value, (optionally) comparing the reference radiation field image and the sample radiation field image to determine at least one of their relative rotation, translation and scaling, subtracting one of the radiation field images from the other thereby to obtain a difference image, and inspecting the difference image to ascertain changes in the radiation field between preparation of the reference image and the sample image. The second comprising the steps of filtering at least the sample image to remove low frequency variations, selecting a region of interest (ROI) within the reference and sample images, correlating the ROI of the reference image with the ROI of the sample image, and determining the relative displacements of the reference image and the sample image.

    摘要: A method for determining a three-dimensional image dataset by an X-ray device is disclosed herein. The method includes recording projection images of an examination object from a plurality of recording angles, and reconstructing the image dataset from the projection images, wherein, for at least one examined projection image, in each case an interference condition is evaluated the fulfillment of which is dependent upon at least parts of the image data of the (respective) examined projection image and/or upon at least one parameter of the radiation source during the recording of the (respective) examined projection image and indicates that the (respective) examined projection image is a projection image with interference during the recording of which arcing has occurred in the radiation source. The method also includes disregarding at least one projection image with interference, or giving the projection image a lower weighting than all the projection images with no interference, or replacing the projection image with a synthetic projection image.

    摘要: A method for collecting three-dimensional data of an object from a series of projection images recorded by a biplane C-arm system is provided. A cardiac activity is recorded. The cardiac frequency and a start cardiac phase are determined for calculating parameters of the C-arm planes. The C-arm planes are set with the parameters and data is acquired in the start cardiac phase. The C-arm planes are uniformly rotated at a same speed in a forward motion over an angular area and record data at different angular areas at different cardiac phases. Data is acquired in the start cardiac phase after termination of the forward motion. The C-arm planes are uniformly rotated at a same speed in a backward motion over an angular area and records data at different angular areas at different cardiac phases. The captured data are reconstructed after termination of the backward motion upon completed acquisition.
