    摘要: In a method for producing an image of fat plaque employing nuclear magnetic resonance tomography, a radio-frequency excitation pulse is emitted with wavelet coding in the presence of a first gradient, refocusing pulses are emitted which are selective to the spectral frequency of fat, and the resulting nuclear magnetic resonance signals are read out in the presence of a further magnetic field gradient. An image of fat plaque with enhanced spatial resolution is thereby produced.

    摘要: A method for operating a nuclear resonance imaging device given gradients of arbitrary shapes includes the steps of equidistantly sampling the nuclear magnetic resonance signals in the time domain with a sampling rate that satisfies the sampling theorem, the sampling taking place even given gradients having a non-rectangular pulse shape. Since non-equidistant sampling in the K-space would normally lead to image artifacts, the method includes the further step, to avoid such artifacts, of calculating measured values from the acquired samples by interpolation, these measured values being equidistant in the K-space, and being entered into a measurement matrix. The equidistant sampling in the K-space, which is complicated, is thus superfluous given gradients having an arbitrary pulse shape.

    摘要: A method for generating an image using nuclear magnetic resonance signals, which substantially eliminates the presence of so-called "N/2 ghosts," includes the steps of dividing a measurement matrix into a first sub-matrix containing the even-numbered rows of the measurement matrix and into a second sub-matrix having the odd-numbered rows of the measurement matrix, setting the entries in the remaining rows of the sub-matrices to zero, subjecting both sub-matrices to a Fourier transformation at least in the column direction, thereby generating respective intermediate image matrices, multiplying one of the intermediate image matrices by a factor which is calculated from the edge rows of the intermediate image matrices, and adding the intermediate image matrices after the multiplication.

    摘要: A method and image reconstruction facility are disclosed for reconstructing an image dataset based on a projection dataset acquired with the aid of an x-ray computed tomography apparatus. With an embodiment of the method, a first image dataset is reconstructed based on the projection dataset and an edge image dataset is generated, which indicates a measure of an edge strength of edges occurring in at least one spatial/temporal direction in the first image dataset, as a function of location. An output image dataset is then generated based on the first image dataset, with the resolution in the first image dataset being increased as a function of location in at least one spatial/temporal direction taking into account the edge image dataset.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for reducing step artifacts in the forward increment direction of a cardio CT representation. In at least one embodiment, volume recordings or section images of first and second sub-volumes of a heart volume, which lie adjacent to one another in the forward increment direction and partially overlap in an overlap region, are recorded by a computer tomography system.

Finally, a displacement vector relative to a second sub-volume is determined at least for a selected point of the overlap region of a first sub-volume and the second sub-volume is subjected at least partially to a spatial transformation according to the at least one displacement vector.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for reconstruction of image data of an examination object from measured data, wherein the measured data was captured during a relative rotational motion between a radiation source of a computed tomography system and the examination object. Image data of the examination object is determined from the measured data. In at least one embodiment, new image data is obtained by noise-reducing processing of the image data, in which weighted high-pass filtering of the image data is performed, the weighting taking account of differences between pixel values of different pixels such that increasing differences result in a weaker high-pass effect. A noise-reducing smoothing of the image data is performed using the weighted high-pass filtering.
