    摘要: A method of evaluating changes in contrast of an image using a diagnostic imaging system is provided. The method provides acquiring raw image data of an organ or tissue, calculating a baseline of data based on the raw image data acquired before arrival of an agent, and determining changes in a signal intensity of the agent based on changes in the raw image data compared to the baseline. The agent may be an imaging agent, a contrast agent, a biomedical agent, a needle, a catheter, a biomedical device, and the like.

    摘要: A CT system includes a scintillator array having a first length in an axial direction of the CT system, the scintillator array includes a plurality of scintillator cells along the first length. The CT system includes a controller configured to repeatedly position a subject fore and aft along the axial direction and over a second length of the CT system, the second length greater than the first length, energize an x-ray source to emit x-rays toward the subject while the subject is being repeatedly positioned, and obtain non-uniform projection data of the subject from the scintillator array, the non-uniform projection data comprising the x-rays received from the x-ray source while the subject is repeatedly positioned. The CT system includes a computer programmed to reconstruct a plurality of temporally non-uniformly spaced images from the non-uniform projection data, interpolate the plurality of non-uniform images to form a plurality of temporally uniform images, and apply a perfusion map generation process to the plurality of temporally uniform images.

    摘要: An MRI system produces magnetic field gradients along physical axes during a patient scan. The gradients are specified as logical gradient waveforms in a pulse sequence and these are stored in a logical vector table. A physical vector table is produced by rotating amplitude values in the logical vector table, and the resulting rotated amplitude values are used to calculate the heating in each gradient axis of the MRI system.
