    摘要: A method includes acquiring a first dataset of projection measurements at a first energy spectrum and a second dataset of projection measurements at a second energy spectrum different from the first energy spectrum by switching between acquiring the first dataset for a set number of consecutive views at different projection angles at the first energy spectrum and acquiring the second dataset for the set number of consecutive views at different projection angles at the second energy spectrum. The set number of consecutive views is greater than one. The method includes supplementing both the first dataset with estimated projection measurements at the first energy spectrum and the second dataset with estimated projection measurements at the second energy spectrum to provide missing projection measurements at different projection angles not acquired during the imaging scan for the first dataset and the second dataset.

    摘要: A medical device is described. The medical device includes a table and a processor. The processor executes operations including, driving the table based on an offset for correcting the table height positional offset to position the imaging location of a subject at a prescribed table height position, determining a center of gravity of the imaging location of the subject in the height direction of the table based on the medical image of the imaging location of the subject, calculating a difference between the prescribed position and the center of gravity as positional deviation of table height, and storing the positional deviation. The processor further executes operations including obtaining a representative value representing characteristics of the positional deviation distribution, determining whether the representative value of the positional deviation is statistically reliable, and updating the offset based on the representative value if the representative value is determined to be statistically reliable.
