    摘要: An imaging method includes obtaining projection data for a helical scan of a subject. The method further includes reconstructing, for a particular time and image slice location of interest, a first temporal motion state image at an earlier time on the detector array and offset from the central row in a first direction with projection data from a first to subset of detector rows, and reconstructing, for the particular time and image slice location, a second temporal motion state image at a later time on the detector array and offset from the central row in a second direction with projection data from a second different subset of detector rows. The method further includes estimating a distortion vector field between the first and second temporal motion state images, and constructing motion compensated volu-metric image data with a motion compensated reconstruction algorithm using the distortion vector field to compensate for arbitrary motion.

    摘要: The invention relates to an image generation apparatus (1) for generating an image of an object. A reconstruction unit (10) reconstructs the image based on provided measured projection values such that costs defined by a cost function are reduced, wherein the cost function depends on differences between calculated projection values, which have been determined by simulating a forward projection through the image, and the provided measured projection values, and wherein a degree of dependence of the cost function on a respective difference depends on the respective difference. This can allow for a consideration of a degree of disturbance of the measured projection values by motion and/or by an incomplete illumination of the object during the reconstruction process, which can lead to a reconstruction of an image having an improved image quality.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an image reconstruction system for statistically reconstructing images from transmission measurements. The image reconstruction system comprises an update equation providing unit for providing an update equation based on an iterative statistical model. The update equation comprises a data term and a regularization term. The invention proposes to not modify the regularization term, but rather the weights with which individual measurements contribute are modified on a per image voxel and per measurement basis. This is achieved by modifying the contributions of each measurement by including an additional weight on a per image voxel/per measurement basis. The additional weight for each measurement is determined by calculating the noise perpendicular to each measurement ray at each voxel position and a voxel and measurement dependent weight for each measurement, and integrated into the update equation's data term.

    摘要: The invention relates to a registration apparatus (14) for registering images comprising a unit (11) for providing a first and a second image of an object, such that an image element of the first image at a respective position has been reconstructed by multiplying projection data values of rays traversing the image element with weights and by backprojecting the weighted projection data values, a unit (12) for providing a confidence map comprising for different positions in the first image confidence values being indicative of a likelihood that an image feature is caused by a structure of the object, the confidence value being calculated as a sum of a function, which depends on the respective weight, over the rays traversing the respective image element, and a unit (13) for determining a transformation for registering the first and second image to each other under consideration of the confidence map.
