摘要: The invention relates to an imaging apparatus (31) for imaging an object. A reconstruction unit (12) determines component projection data values, which correspond to, for example, a base material of the object, and reconstructs an image of the object based on the determined component projection data values. A component projection data value, which corresponds to a ray, is determined as a combination of weighted base functions, which depend on energy projection data values of the same ray and the orientation of the same ray. This allows considering a possible dependency of the corresponding decomposition on the orientation of the ray, thereby allowing the imaging apparatus to improve the quality of decomposing the provided energy projection data values into the component projection data values and thus of a finally reconstructed image of the object, which is reconstructed based on the component projection data values.

摘要: The invention relates to an imaging system (30) for imaging an object. A projection data providing unit (31) provides acquired spectral projection data of an object comprising at least two components, and a reconstruction unit (10) iteratively reconstructs at least two final component images of the object by performing several iteration steps, in which at least two intermediate component images are updated based on the acquired spectral projection data and a penalty term, which is indicative of the correlated noise between the at least two intermediate component images. Since the at least two intermediate component images are updated based on the acquired spectral projection data and a penalty term, which is indicative of the correlated noise, correlated noise is penalized during the iterative reconstruction. The finally resulting component images of the object are therefore less corrupted by correlated noise and have an improved image quality.

摘要: An imaging system includes a radiation source (106, T1, T2, T3) that rotates about an examination region and emits radiation that traverses the examination region. The radiation source (106, T1, T2, T3) emits radiation having an energy spectrum that is selectively alternately switched between at least two different energy spectra during an imaging procedure. The system further includes an energy-resolving detector array (116, D1, D2, D3) that detects radiation traversing the examination region. The energy-resolving detector array (116, D1, D2, D3) resolves the detected radiation over at least two different energy ranges and produces energy-resolved output signals as a function of both emission energy spectrum and energy range. The system further includes a reconstructor (126) that performs a spectral reconstruction of the energy-resolved output signals. In another embodiment, the detector array (116) includes a photon-counting detector array (116).

摘要: The invention relates to a computed tomography apparatus for imaging an object. The computed tomography apparatus comprises a radiation source (2) for generating modulated radiation (4) traversing the object and a detector (6) for generating detection values depending on the radiation (4) after having traversed the object, while the radiation source (2) and the object are moved relative to each other. A weight providing unit (14) provides modulation weights for weighting the detection values depending on the modulation of the radiation (4) and a reconstruction unit (15) reconstructs an image of the object, wherein the detection values are weighted based on the provided modulation weights and an image of the object is reconstructed from the weighted detection values. This can allow to optimize the dose application to the object by modulating the radiation accordingly, wherein the reconstructed images still have a high quality.

摘要: A method for processing projection data in the projection domain includes receiving the projection data. The projection data is generated by a spectral detector and includes two or more independent energy-resolved measurements in which at least one of the two or more measurements has first photon statistics. The method further includes generating a de-noised measurement in electronic format for the at least one of the two or more measurements having the first photon statistics. The de-noised measurement has second photon statistics which are better than the first photon statistics.
