    摘要: A method is disclosed for scattered radiation correction in x-ray imaging devices having a number of x-ray sources that can be moved around an examination object in at least one scanning plane during a measurement pass. During the measurement pass, a number of x-ray projections are recorded at different projection angles with simultaneous use of the x-ray sources. In at least one embodiment of the present method, parameters characterizing an outer object contour are determined in the scanning plane from measured data of different x-ray projections. In at least one embodiment, on the basis of one object contour section whose characterizing parameters have been determined from x-ray projections that lie in front of and/or behind the respective x-ray projection by a defined projection angle range, for each x-ray projection an assigned scattered radiation distribution is then retrieved or is interpolated in a database from scattered radiation distributions for object contour sections with similar characterizing parameters. This scattered radiation distribution is then used for the correction of the measured data for the respective x-ray projection. In at least one embodiment, the method enables scattered radiation correction in conjunction with operation of the x-ray sources.

    摘要: In a tomography apparatus and method for obtaining correction values for two measurement planes, wherein the tomography apparatus an acquisition system disposed in a first measurement plane and a second acquisition system disposed in a second measurement plane that are disposed in the azimuthal direction around a common rotation axis, position correction values for both measurement planes are determined for a substantially constant rotation angle speed of the two acquisition systems using measurement values calculated at a rotation angle position of a reference object that can be introduced into both measurement planes. An artifact-free reconstruction of a slice or volume image can be made using the position correction values.

    摘要: In a tomography apparatus and operating method, at least two acquisition systems are respectively each disposed in the azimuthal direction at respective specific system angles around a common rotation axis. Both system angles can be determined for a substantially constant rotation angle speed of the two acquisition systems on the basis of measurement values, which are calculated at a rotation angle position of a reference object that can be introduced into both measurement planes. The tomography apparatus in this manner enables artifact-free reconstruction of a slice or volume image using the system angles determined in this manner.

    摘要: A method for scattered radiation correction of a CT system, including at least two focus/detector systems operated angularly offset from one another, is disclosed. In the method, at at least one phantom, similar to the examined object at least in a subregion, for at least one of the focus/detector systems, the scattered radiation intensity occurring is determined in the detector of a focus/detector system during the operation of the at least one focus of at least one other focus/detector system. Further, the spatial distribution thereof is stored for a number of angles of rotation of the focus/detector systems. During scanning of the object, the scattered radiation intensities, determined with the aid of a similar phantom that originate from the at least one other focus/detector system, are subtracted from the measured intensities of the first focus/detector system while taking account of the spatial orientation of the focus/detector systems and the beam respectively considered. Finally, absorption values are calculated with the aid of the intensity values thus corrected, and CT pictures or CT volume data are thereby reconstructed.
