摘要:
A method is provided for supplying a 3D X-ray image data record for a moving object. The said object contains highly X-ray radiation-absorbent material. A correction is made in respect of the highly absorbent material in 2D forward projections obtained from a 3D-X-ray image data record. The forward projections are calculated using 3D motion fields, which are derived from original 2D X-ray image data records.
摘要:
An interpolation of data values is performed during the acquisition of a 3D image dataset which is free of traces of a metal object imaged in the underlying 2D image datasets. A target function is defined into which data values of the 3D image dataset that are dependent on said substitute data values are incorporated following preprocessing. The substitute data values are then varied iteratively until the value of the target function satisfies a predetermined criterion. Residual artifacts that still persist following the interpolation can thus be effectively reduced.

A method is provided for image processing an angiography data set of a capture region of interest of a patient's vascular system. The method includes establishing a static time parameter set from the angiography data set, wherein the static time parameter set includes time parameters and characterizes the time profile of the contrast agent concentration for picture elements of the capture region described in the image data subsets; establishing a series of mask data sets by picture element-by-picture element application of a window function having a window width of greater than zero; selecting a subinterval in the parameter space covered by the time parameters for each instant of the series to the static time parameter set; and establishing a series of static display data sets by applying the mask data sets to a static vessel data set, which shows a vascular system perfused by the contrast agent in the capture region and which underlies or is derived from the angiography data set.
摘要:
A method for three-dimensional visualization of a moving structure by a rotation angiography method is described. A series of projection images is recorded by an image acquisition unit from different recording angles during a rotation cycle. A three-dimensional image data can be reconstructed from the projection images. A continuous rotation cycle is proposed to be performed with simultaneous recording of at least one ECG. A three-dimensional reconstructed reference image is generated through a first correction of the motion of the moving structure by affine transformations. A three-dimensional image data of the moving structure is reconstructed from the data acquired in the continuous rotation cycle when using the reconstructed reference image while performing an estimation and correction of the motion by elastic deformations.
摘要:
Vessel overlap artifacts are reduced in a four-dimensional angiography data set a blood vessel system of a patient with a contrast medium. A three-dimensional vessel data set of the blood vessel system is reconstructed from two-dimensional projection images of digital subtraction angiography showing the blood vessel system, determined by multiplicative back projection of the projection images into the vessel data set or a base data set of the four-dimensional angiography data set derived vessel data set. A plausibility check is performed with vessel sections displayed as filled with contrast medium in partial image data sets of the angiography data set assigned to all individual, and different instants of the covered period are checked against a plausibility check criterion checking for a contrast medium-filled connection to an admissible source point, after which a corrected partial image data set is determined containing only vessel sections satisfying the plausibility check criterion.
摘要:
Background information is subtracted from projection data in medical diagnostic imaging. The background is removed using data acquired in a single rotational sweep of a C-arm. The removal may be by masking out a target, leaving the background, in the data as constructed into a volume. For subtraction, the masked background information is projected to a plane and subtracted from the data representing the plane.
摘要:
A method for generating a four-dimensional representation of a periodically moving target region is proposed. A motion-compensated three-dimensional image dataset is determined from two-dimensional projection images recorded from different projection directions. Estimation parameters that describe a non-periodic motion and are derived from a motion model formulated independently of the phase of the periodic motion with respect to the recording instants of the projection images are determined from the projection images, such that the three-dimensional image dataset represents a static reconstruction based on all projection images for a specific instant. The three-dimensional image dataset is animated from the estimation parameters used in its reconstruction. The motion information that is missing in the estimation parameters due to the two-dimensionality of the projection images is additionally determined using a boundary condition that describes the periodicity of the motion, and used for the animation.
摘要:
The left ventricle epicardium is estimated in medical diagnostic imaging. C-arm x-ray data is used to detect an endocardium at different phases. The detected endocardium at the different phases is compared to sample endocardiums at different phases. The sample endocardiums have corresponding sample epicadriums. The transformation between the most similar sample endocardium or endocardiums over time and the detected endocardium over time is applied to the corresponding sample epicardium or epicardiums. The transformed sample epicardium over time is the estimated epicardium over time for the C-arm x-ray data.
