摘要:
An x-ray diagnostics method is specified, in particular for use in angiography and cardiology, by means of which a particularly good image quality can be achieved in an easily manageable manner for the patient (P) and the medical personnel, at the same time as a comparatively low radiation exposure. Furthermore, a specific x-ray device (1) for implementing the method comprising an x-ray emitter (2), an x-ray detector (3) and a control unit (10) is specified to control the x-ray emitter (2). In this way the control unit (10) is allocated an operating element (15), by means of which a control parameter (S) characterizing the image quality, the detector input dose or the contrast noise ratio can be continuously varied, as a function of which a number of recording parameters (U,I,t,F) are set by means of the control device (10).

A method for operating a computed tomograph is provided, wherein an X-ray penetrates an object from different positions, a deposition of an individual dose is effected in at least one part of the object, and an image signal is generated in the detector by way of a transmitted intensity of the X-ray, wherein exposure-related parameters for the respective different positions are individually set such that with respect to a specific position, the share of the associated individual dose is raised if a raising of the individual dose in the specific position brings about a greater improvement in the image quality than in another position, or the share of the associated individual dose is lowered if a lowering of the individual dose in the specific position brings about a smaller deterioration in the image quality than in another position, in order to lower stochastic risks for mutations and uncontrolled cell growth.

A medical instrument is provided for use with a phase contrast imaging. The medical instrument includes at least one component, which has a strong small angle scattering of x-rays. Furthermore, a corresponding x-ray recording system with phase contrast imaging for recording an examination object may include such a medical instrument.

An adaptive X-ray filter for varying a local intensity of X-ray radiation includes a first chamber containing a magnetorheological or electrorheological first liquid, a second chamber containing a second liquid that absorbs X-ray radiation, and a flexible membrane that separates the first chamber from the second chamber. Using the flexible membrane, a layer thickness ratio of the first liquid and the second liquid may be varied. A heating apparatus that heats the second liquid is arranged in the adaptive X-ray filter. The second liquid is a liquid metal.

A method for operating an x-ray image recording device having a movable x-ray detector on an-x-ray c-arm is provided. The x-ray C-arm supports an x-ray source and the x-ray detector which can be moved in the direction of the x-ray source. A variable is calculated which specifies the image quality of an x-ray image to be obtained in a position of the x-ray C-arm in a position of the x-ray detector and/or specifies the exposure dose of an operating person. A measure is taken as a function of the variable which results in a movement of the x-ray detector by the operating person and/or by an automatic movement. X-ray images are recorded in positions of the x-ray detector in which the image quality and/or the exposure dose of an operating person are optimal.
摘要:
An X-ray radiation detector (100) consists of an arrangement with photodetector elements (12) and a scintillator layer (14) on the same. It is assumed in an exemplary fashion that the scintillator layer (14) subjects an input signal, which describes an object to be imaged, to a convolution with a modulation transfer function. The effect of this can be cancelled, particularly by obtaining a test X-ray image in advance, with the aid of which this modulation transfer function, or a similar variable providing information on the modulation transfer function, is established. If use is made of photodetectors that are based on CMOS technology, use can be made of a particularly thick scintillator layer made of gadolinium oxysulfide, which absorbs a particularly large amount of X-ray radiation. High-contrast X-ray images are obtained in this fashion.

A sequence of groups of projection images shows an object under examination comprising a vascular system and its environment. A computer determines a 2-dimensional evaluation image having a plurality of pixels based on combination images determined from the projection images of a group. The combination images have a plurality of pixels with pixel values. The sequence of the combination images shows the time characteristic of the distribution of a contrast medium in the object. The pixels of the evaluation image correspond to those of the projection images. The computer assigns each pixel, at least in a part area of the evaluation image, a type that is characteristic of whether the respective pixel corresponds to a vessel of the vascular system, a perfusion area or a background. It performs the assignment of the type on the basis of the time characteristic of the pixel values of the combination images.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method and a device for increasing contrast in medical images generated by an imaging system featuring an x-ray source and a detector. The detector detects x-rays of the x-ray source and converts image signals from the x-rays. The image signals are transferred to a control and processing unit for processing. Deconvolution of the image signals is carried out by application of an inverse modulation transfer function modified by a regularization. At least a volume image can be reconstructed from the deconvolved image signals.

The invention relates to a method for creating scatter-corrected mass density image in dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The mass density image is created using additional information provided by attenuation images at different energy levels in an inhomogeneous correction image area. A multi-dimensional mass density is found that is consistent for a plurality of the attenuation images by inverting a primary radiation function. A scatter fraction is determined on the basis of the multi-dimensional mass density.
