摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for reducing motion related imaging artifacts. The method includes determining an internal motion for of two regions of the object, each region having a different level of motion, scanning the first region using a first scan protocol based on the motion, scanning a second region using a second different scan protocol based on the motion, and generating an image of the object based on the first and second regions.

A method for generating an image is provided. The method comprises: acquiring a first set of image data using a first imaging modality; sorting the first set of image data into a plurality of gates to generate a plurality of gated data sets; reconstructing each gated data set to generate a respective gated image for each gated data set; registering the respective gated images to generate a plurality of registered images; and generating a median image from the plurality of registered images, wherein each voxel of the median image is a respective median value of the corresponding voxels of the plurality of registered images.

A method of imaging is presented. The method includes reconstructing image data acquired at a plurality of time intervals to obtain a plurality of images. Further, the method includes generating a mean image using the plurality of images. The method also includes correcting motion in the mean image or the plurality of images or both the mean image and the plurality of images by iteratively determining convergence of the mean image or the plurality of images or both the mean image and the plurality of images to generate a converged mean image, a converged plurality of images, or both a converged mean image and a converged plurality of images.

The present technique provides a system and method for processing an image. Particularly the method comprises acquiring image data in frequency space (k-space) of an imaged volume and obtaining a three-dimensional (3-D) k-space volume representative of the imaged volume based on the acquired k-space data. The method further comprises selecting a two-dimensional (2-D) plane from the 3-D k-space volume and applying an inverse Fourier transform to the selected 2-D plane to obtain a real 2-D X-ray-like (or enhanced rendering) projection of the imaged volume offering insights into the 3-D data.

A method is provided for identifying a location of a region of interest in a volumetric image scan that includes a plurality of slices of an object and wherein each slice, in turn, includes a plurality of pixels. The method includes setting a predetermined pixel intensity threshold corresponding to a particular region of interest; identifying target pixels for each slice from the plurality of pixels that exceed the predetermined pixel intensity threshold; creating an energy profile from the target pixels for each slice; and comparing the energy profile to a predefined energy profile to determine the location of the region of interest.

A technique is provided for segmenting a structure of interest from a volume dataset. The technique identifies regions of the structure using templates having characteristics of the structure of interest. The identified regions may then undergo a constrained growth process using dynamic constraints that may vary based on local statistics associated with the identified structure regions. Edges within the volume may be determined using gradient data determined by evaluating the strongest gradient between each pixel and all adjacent pixels. The edge data may be used to prevent the constrained growing process from exceeding the boundaries of the structure of interest.

摘要:
A technique for automatically labeling a CT image of the brain with anatomical information. The anatomical information is obtained from an atlas of the brain prepared from an MR image of the brain. The atlas contains image data that is referenced to the Talairach coordinate system. The atlas is aligned to the CT image and the coordinate system of the CT image data is transformed to the Talairach coordinate system. The alignment of the CT image and the atlas is performed using anatomical landmarks that are visible on both the CT image and the atlas. The CT image is then labeled automatically with the anatomical information in the atlas.
