摘要:
A method and system for selective resolution improvement in computed tomography (CT) scanning. The method includes receiving scan data representative of a scanned object from a CT scanner and reconstructing the scan data using a first algorithm to create a first set of reconstructed data. A region of interest is identified within the first set of reconstructed data. A portion of the scan data corresponding to the region of interest is reconstructed using a second algorithm to create a second set of reconstructed data. The first set of reconstructed data and the second set of reconstructed data are combined to create combined reconstructed data.

A method for scanning a stream of objects includes conveying the stream of objects through a scanning system using a conveyor, marking a leading edge position of an object within the stream of objects with respect to a first known distance between a sensor and a start of a scan range, and recording data associated with the object when the leading edge position reaches the start of the scan range. The method also includes marking a trailing edge position of the object with respect to a second known distance between the sensor and an end of the scan range, halting recording of the data when the trailing edge reaches the end of the scan range, and generating a three-dimensional image of the object based on the recorded data.

A control system for use with an imaging system is provided. The control system includes a rotation sensor coupled to a rotating portion of a gantry of the imaging system. The rotation sensor includes a gyroscope configured to measure a rotation parameter of the gantry. The control system further includes a data acquisition system (DAS) coupled in communication with the rotation sensor and a detector of the imaging system. The DAS is configured to associate projection data from the detector with the measured rotation parameter.

A method for scanning a stream of objects includes continuously acquiring raw data of the stream of objects using an X-ray system, that includes a detector. The raw data of the stream of objects is rebinned into at least one two-dimensional sinogram. A leading edge and a trailing edge of a first object of the stream of objects is determined from the at least one two-dimensional sinogram and a three-dimensional image of the first object is reconstructed using the at least one two-dimensional sinogram.
摘要:
A method for generating an image of an object using a scanning system includes performing a first portion of a scan in a first scanning mode to acquire a first dataset, receiving a halt command for a conveyor within the scanning system, decelerating the conveyor to a halt based on the halt command using a conveyor controller, and, when the object is present within an examination region after the conveyor has halted, performing a second portion of the scan in a second scanning mode to acquire a second dataset. The second scanning mode is different than the first scanning mode. The method also includes reconstructing the first dataset using a first reconstruction algorithm and reconstructing the second dataset using a second reconstruction algorithm. The second reconstruction algorithm is different than the first reconstruction algorithm. The image is generated using the first reconstructed dataset and the second reconstructed dataset.

A method for scanning a stream of objects includes continuously acquiring raw data of the stream of objects using an X-ray system including a detector, determining a leading edge and a trailing edge of a first object of the stream of objects from the raw data acquired by the detector using a control system, processing acquired raw data of the first object based on the determined leading edge and the determined trailing edge using the control system, and reconstructing an image of the first object using at least the processed raw data. A system configured to perform the method is also disclosed.
