    摘要: An imaging system includes a radiation source (106, T1, T2, T3) that rotates about an examination region and emits radiation that traverses the examination region. The radiation source (106, T1, T2, T3) emits radiation having an energy spectrum that is selectively alternately switched between at least two different energy spectra during an imaging procedure. The system further includes an energy-resolving detector array (116, D1, D2, D3) that detects radiation traversing the examination region. The energy-resolving detector array (116, D1, D2, D3) resolves the detected radiation over at least two different energy ranges and produces energy-resolved output signals as a function of both emission energy spectrum and energy range. The system further includes a reconstructor (126) that performs a spectral reconstruction of the energy-resolved output signals. In another embodiment, the detector array (116) includes a photon-counting detector array (116).

    摘要: The invention relates to an imaging system for imaging a region of interest comprising a moving object, which moves less in small motion phases than in large motion phases. Detection values are provided and a small motion determination unit (15) determines the motion of the object in the region of interest in the small motion phases from the 5 detection values. A large motion determination unit (16) determines the motion of the object in the large motion phases from the determined motion of the object in the small motion phases. A reconstruction unit (17) reconstructs an image of the region of interest from the detection values, wherein the reconstruction unit (17) is adapted for performing a motion compensation using the determined motions in the small and large motion phases.

    摘要: The invention relates to a computer tomography scanner comprising a gantry, on the rotor of which one or more displaceable masses are arranged. During rotation of the rotor about a rotation axis, the position of each mass can be changed perpendicular to the rotation axis by means of an adjustment unit. By retaining the rotary momentum of the rotor, the rotational speed is increased when the masses are moved toward the rotation axis, and vice versa. As a result, it is possible to maintain a specific ratio between the heart rate of the examined patient and the rotational speed even if the heart rate of the patient changes during the examination.

    摘要: A region of interest is identified using a conventional CT or X-ray approach. Then, the region of interest is scanned using a plurality of pencil beams (28) to obtain a plurality of different scattered X-ray spectra. A geometric correction is then applied to each spectrum as if the spectrum was solely due to features in the region of interest. The various spectra recorded using the beams are combined and correlated to determine features of the region of interest (32) whilst minimising the effect of features in the rest of the sample (30).

    摘要: The invention relates to an object localization apparatus for localizing an object having markers based on a projection image. An object function (8) is provided along x-z positions (9, 20 . . . 25), wherein the x-z positions (9, 20 . . . 25) are defined by pairs of an x position being a position of a recognized projected marker along a fictive line on the recognized projected object in a projection plane and a z position defining a position in a direction being outside the projection plane. The position is determined based on the object function (8) which is modified by varying the z positions such that distances between the x-z positions along the object function (8) are adapted to distances between the markers of the object. This allows the object localization apparatus to determine the position with a reduced number of projection images, in particular, with only a single projection image.
