    摘要: A method and apparatus for three dimensional (3D) computerized tomographic (CT) imaging of a region-of-interest (ROI) in an object, wherein image reconstruction processing is applied to a plurality of sets of 2D cone beam projection data, each set being acquired on a 2D detector at a corresponding plurality of scan path source positions. A first image reconstruction processing step comprises applying a mask to each set of the projection data so that data inside the boundaries of each mask form a corresponding plurality of masked 2D data sets. Next, the data inside each masked 2D data set is filtered along a plurality of parallel lines formed therein, to generate a corresponding plurality of filtered 2D data sets. Each filtered 2D data set corresponds to a calculation of a first estimate of Radon derivative data determined from a given set of the 2D cone beam projection data. The next step comprises adaptively developing 2D correction data for each of the first estimates of Radon derivative data. The final step comprises combining each filtered 2D data set and the adaptively determined 2D correction data calculated therefore, in a weighted 3D backprojection manner into a 3D space, thereby reconstructing a 3D image of the ROI in the object.

    摘要: A 4-dimensional digital tomosynthesis system includes an x-ray source, an x-ray detector and a processor. The x-ray source is suitable for emitting x-ray beams to an object with a periodic motion. The periodic motion is divided into (n+1) time intervals, n being a positive integer. Each of the (n+1) time intervals is associated with a time instance ti, i=0, 1, 2, . . . , n. The x-ray detector is coupled to the x-ray source for acquiring projection radiographs of the object at each time instance ti for each scan angle based on the x-ray beams. The processor is communicatively coupled to the x-ray source and the x-ray detector for controlling the x-ray source and processing data received from the x-ray detector such that all projection radiographs acquired from all scan angles for each time instance ti are reconstructed and (n+1) sets of cross sections of the object are obtained. The cross section is either a coronal cross section or a sagittal cross section. Each of the (n+1) sets of cross sections is for a different time instance ti.

    摘要: A projection system for projecting a shape onto a scene (e.g., the surface of an object, the body of a patient, or the like) so that the shape appears to be projected via a light beam emanating from a desired source location includes two or more projection assemblies for projecting planes of light which intersect the scene to form light stripes on the scene. The intersection of the light stripes defines a point of light projected onto the scene so that the point of light appears to emanate from the source location. The first and second projection assemblies rotate about first and second axes which extend through the source location for controlling the position of the point of light on the scene.

Additionally or alternatively, one or more characteristics of the ion beam may be changed to move the location of the Bragg peak toward the location of the target based on the difference. The one or more radiation sources may comprise a plurality of x-ray sources disposed in a fixed relationship to each other. Each of the plurality of x-ray sources may also be disposed in a fixed relationship to the ion beam source.
