A noise-reducing smoothing of the image data takes place using the weighted highpass filtering.

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.

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. Each sub-volume's detector data is used for the reconstruction coming from different heart cycles. 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.

A method is disclosed for reconstructing image data of an examination object from measured data, wherein the measured data was captured previously during a relative rotary motion between a radiation source of a computed tomography system and the examination object. In at least one embodiment, the measured data is modified to achieve a particular grayscale characteristic of the image data to be reconstructed. The image data is calculated by way of an iterative algorithm using the modified measured data, wherein no arithmetic step for reducing noise is employed in the iterations.

Method for the noise reduction of CT image data and an image processing system are disclosed, with a scanning of an examination object and generation of at least two CT image data records each taking place on the basis of a different x-ray energy spectrum. In at least one embodiment, a break-down of the data image records into at least two broken-down image data records takes place in each instance, with a lowest local frequency band (f(1)) with the index k=1 and at least one high local frequency band (f(k)) with the index k=2 to N. In at least one embodiment, the determination of the noise into at least one of the image data records per x-ray energy spectrum and calculation of at least one new image data record takes place in each instance by using an unchanged broken-down image data record with the lowest local frequency band and an image data record, generated from a noise-minimized weighted combination of broken-down image data records, which originate from the scannings using different x-ray energy spectra.

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.

A method is disclosed for reconstruction of image data of an object under examination from measurement data, with the measurement data having been captured during a relative rotational movement between a radiation source of a computed tomography system and the object under examination. In at least one embodiment, first image data is computed by the measurement data being modified to obtain a specific gray value characteristic of the first image data to be reconstructed and the first image data is computed by way of an iterative algorithm using the modified measurement data. Second image data is also computed by a series of chronologically-consecutive images being reconstructed and processing being carried out on the series of images to reduce temporal noise. Finally a combination of the first and the second image data is carried out.

摘要:
In the course of an imaging method that is particularly suitable for creating an image data record of the heart and/or the blood vessels of a patient, a series of recording pulses, tuned to the cardiac rhythm, are derived from an ECG signal of the cardiac rhythm of the patient. The imaging is driven in a pulsed fashion from the series of recording pulses. In this case, an initial instant and a final instant of a future recording pulse are determined by taking account of at least one variability parameter characterizing the irregularity of the cardiac rhythm.
