摘要:
Various methods and systems are provided for collision avoidance in cone-beam computed tomography (CT) systems. In one embodiment, a method for an imaging apparatus comprises calculating a likelihood of a collision between the imaging apparatus and a subject and/or its support based on a model of the subject, performing a scan of the subject responsive to the likelihood below a threshold, and not performing the scan otherwise. In this way, collisions between the patient and the imaging apparatus can be avoided.

An interventional device configured for placement in or near an internal organ or tissue is provided. The interventional device includes a reference portion having three or more sensor elements. In one implementation, the interventional device and associated sensor elements provide dynamic referencing of the internal organ, tissue or associated vasculature after registration of the sensor data with images and/or volumetric representations of the internal organ or tissue.

This disclosure relates to a three dimensional visualization method for visualizing and/or displaying a limited zone of a patient's vasculature, the method comprising selecting an entry point within an imaged vasculature and three dimensionally visualizing a simulated contrast agent propagation from the selected entry point in a limited zone of the imaged vasculature.

Systems and methods of object reconstruction from x-ray imaging include receiving an input of a first angulation for a first x-ray image. A first score representative of a quality of a reconstruction of an object from an x-ray image acquired at the first angulation is calculated. The first x-ray image is acquired at the first angulation. An input of a second angulation for a second x-ray image is received. A second score representative of the quality of the reconstruction of the object from the first x-ray image and an x-ray image acquired at the second angulation is calculated. The second x-ray image is acquired at the second angulation. The object is reconstructed from the first x-ray image and the second x-ray image.

This invention relates to a medical imaging method comprising: emitting a radiation beam from a radiation source of a rotating gantry, preferably of a rotating C-arm, on a volume of interest, varying collimation of said emitted radiation beam so as to change at least part-time a field of view of said emitted radiation beam so that there are at least a first part and a second part of said volume of interest such that, when said first part of said volume of interest is imaged, said second part of said volume of interest is shuttered, and when said second part of said volume of interest is imaged, said first part of said volume of interest is shuttered.
