    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: A method is disclosed for image reconstruction of an object with the aid of at least one-dimensional projections of the object into a three-dimensional volume image data record, it being possible to generate the projections by at least one detector/source system with reference to different positions and angles relative to the object, and at least two projections forming a reconstruction volume in an overlap region as basis for a backprojection of the projections into the three-dimensional volume image data record, in particular computed tomography. An apparatus for carrying out the method is further disclosed. In at least one embodiment, supplemented reconstruction volumes are generated by supplementing reconstruction volumes, covered only partially by projections, by way of virtual projections that are derived from volume image data records. By comparison with reconstruction volumes that are merely interpolated, supplementing a reconstruction volume with the aid of virtual projections can decisively improve the image quality of the computed tomography images that are backprojected therefrom.

    摘要: Incomplete data records owing to an object extent that stretches beyond the scanning field of view (SFOV) constitute a general problem in computed tomography. In these cases, parts of the object are to be reconstructed, for which only incomplete projections from an angular range of less than 180° are available. The application of iterative algorithms such as, for example, the algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) or the simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART) to this problem of truncated projections cannot lead to a satisfactory solution unless use is made of special boundary conditions. In order to regularize the reconstruction method, in at least one embodiment, information relating to the statistics of the attenuation values of the reconstructed object is also included in the form of the logarithmic probability function of the attenuation values. This information can be obtained from the regions of those image parts which are still completely contained in the SFOV, but nevertheless lie in the vicinity of the region where the object leaves the SFOV. Furthermore, the information can be used in an algebraic reconstruction method by adding a boundary condition term to the cost function to be minimized. Experiments indicate that taking account of this information leads to good estimates with reference to the object in the event of insubstantially truncated projections such as are customary in CT applications, for example.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for reconstructing image data of an examination object from measurement data of a computed tomography system, the examination object having been irradiated simultaneously by a number of X-ray sources while the measurement data was being acquired so that different projections of the examination object associated with the number of X-ray sources were acquired simultaneously for each detector element. In at least one embodiment, different iteration images of the examination object are determined one after the other from the measurement data by way of an iterative algorithm, a computation operation being employed with the iterative algorithm, which is applied to the iteration images and takes the presence of the number of X-ray sources into account.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for detecting X-ray radiation from an X-ray emitter. In at least one embodiment of the method, an electric pulse with a pulse amplitude characteristic of the energy of a quantum is generated when a quantum of the X-ray radiation impinges on a sensor, wherein a number of threshold energies are predetermined. When the pulse amplitude corresponding to the respective energy is exceeded, a signal is emitted each time the pulse amplitude corresponding to a respective threshold energy is exceeded. At least one embodiment of the method permits reliable and high-quality imaging, even in image regions with high X-ray quanta rates. To this end, at least one of the threshold energies is predetermined such that it is higher than the maximum energy of the X-ray spectrum emitted by the X-ray emitter.
