    摘要: In a known type of tomosynthesis x-ray source and x-ray detector are linearly moved and x-rays images are taken for a large number of positions, the images being reconstructed to give a 3D image record. According to the invention x-ray source and x-ray detector are swiveled and a sequence of x-rays is subsequently taken again, x-ray source and x-ray detector again being moved in a straight line. One drawback of simple tomosynthesis with movement in a straight line is suppressed thereby, the drawback being that the quality of reconstruction is particularly poor in a certain direction.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for reconstructing a tomographic representation of an object from projection data off a moving radiation source through this object onto a detector, filtering and back projection of the projection data being executed in the reconstruction. In an embodiment of the method, by using at least one identical spatial arrangement of the radiation source, the detector and a test object instead of the object to be scanned, there is determined by test projections and an iterative reconstruction technique, a filter that in the given arrangement results in an optimum filtering and back projection of the projection data of the test object for the tomographic representation. Further, the object is scanned instead of the test object in the given arrangement and projection data are determined. Finally, the reconstruction of the tomographic representation is carried out using these projection data and the filter determined. Moreover, an embodiment of a tomography unit for carrying out this method is also disclosed.

      摘要: The invention relates to a computed tomography method. The airgap associated with a projection direction is determined by determining, in the projection images, edge pixels which map object edges on a detector. By back-projecting the edge pixels in an object image space it is possible to determine an envelope polygon for an outline contour of the examination object. The width of the airgap associated with a specific projection direction can then be determined on the basis of the envelope polygon. Exact knowledge of the current airgap serves to improve the scattered radiation correction.

      摘要: A number of two-dimensional projection images of a three-dimensional examination object are assigned image times and imaging parameters. The projection images are combined into reconstruction groups including projection images with image times specifically assigned or within a time interval specific to the reconstruction groups. The reconstruction groups are determined in such a way that three-dimensional reconstructions of the examination object with direction-dependent local resolution can be determined based on the projection images of the reconstruction groups; it is not possible to determine three-dimensional reconstructions of the examination object with direction-independent local resolution. Three-dimensional reconstructions of the examination are determined based on the projection images of the reconstruction groups. Reconstruction times are determined based on the image times assigned to the projection images of the reconstruction groups and assigned to the three-dimensional reconstructions. Further analyses are performed as a function of the temporal sequence of the three-dimensional reconstructions.
