摘要:
The invention relates to a method of forming X-ray images (B) from at least two series of projection data sets (P1, P2) successively acquired along different trajectories (T1, T2), a respective 3D data set (S1, S2) being formed from each series of projection data sets (P1, P2). In order to neutralize motions of the patient between the acquisition of the individual series of projection data sets upon combination of the 3D data sets so as to form X-ray images which are as free from artefacts as possible, the invention proposes to determine a transformation rule (F) describing the location in space of the 3D data sets (S1, S2) relative to one another in such a manner that voxels are selected in a 3D data set (S1) and their location in the other 3D data set (S2) is determined by means of a suitable similarity measure, after which X-ray images (B) are formed from the 3D data sets (S1, S2) combined by means of the transformation rule (F). Consequently, it is possible to dispense with phantom members that are to be reproduced for fine adjustment of the individual 3D data sets as well as with manual fine adjustment steps. The invention also relates to an X-ray device constructed for this purpose.

A method includes scanning a region of interest, during a contrast agent based perfusion scan, at a predetermined temporal sampling rate during contrast agent uptake in the region of interest, and generating time frame data indicative of the scanned region of interest. The method further includes identifying a predetermined change in an amount of the contrast agent in the region of interest from the time frame data. The method further includes scanning the region of interest at a lower temporal sampling rate, which is lower than the temporal sampling rate during the contrast agent uptake, in response to identifying the predetermined change in the amount of the contrast agent in the region of interest.

A method is disclosed that includes decomposing, with a decomposer, agent-based time series projection data for an object or a subject into at least an agent based component. A projection data decomposer includes a time series decomposer that determines agent-based projection data based on agent-based time series projection data based on at least two energy dependent components. A computer readable storage medium containing instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform the act of determining an agent-based component of agent-based time series projection data utilizing at least two components of the agent-based time series projection is provided.

Computed tomography (CT) reconstruction includes reconstructing an axially extended reconstructed image from a measured cone beam x-ray projection data set (Pm), optionally having an off-center geometry. The reconstructing is performed for an extended volume (eFOV) comprising a reconstructable volume (rFOV) of the measured cone beam x ray data set that is extended along the axial direction. The projection data set may be weighted in the volume domain. Iterative reconstruction may be used, including initializing a constant volume and performing one or more iterations employing a first iterative update followed by one or more iterations employing a second, different iterative update. Alternatively, backprojection filtration (BPF) reconstruction may be used, including transforming the projection data set to a new geometry including finite differences between neighboring projection views and performing BPF using Hilbert filtering along a plurality of different directions and averaging the resultant reconstructed images to generate the final reconstructed image.

摘要:
The invention relates to a method for producing a product mixture (2) by means of the technical hydroformylation of a hydrocarbon stream (1) that contains isobutene, and for separating the product mixture (2) that is obtained, as well as to a device for the claimed method and to the use of a claimed device. The problem addressed thereby is that of providing a method and an associated device that allow the amount of high-boiling substances in the product mixture (2) to be kept as low as possible and thus the yield of the reaction to be increased. The problem is solved by the use of a nano-filtration device (M) for separating the catalyst from the product mixture (2), said device having especially high permeability to 3-methylbutanoic acid.
