摘要： The invention relates to a computer tomography method in which a periodically moving object, in particular an organ of the body, is irradiated by a cone-shaped beam cluster (4) along a trajectory which runs on a cylindrical surface. The radiation transmitted through the object is measured by means of a detector unit (16), and at the same time the periodic movement of the object is recorded. In order to reconstruct the absorption distribution of the object, the measured values or the corresponding beams are rebinned to form a number of parallel projections, where for each of these projections a measured value is determined whose beam irradiates the object. The point in time at which this measured value was acquired is allocated to the respective projection. For the reconstruction, which may for example be carried out using a filtered back-projection, only projections whose allocated points in time lie within a predefined, specific time range (H1) within a period of the object movement are used.

摘要： Method and device for forming a 3D image of an object to be examined by combining at least two reconstruction images, acquired by an X-ray device, by weighted addition. Specifically, each reconstruction image is weighted with a respective weighting function which describes at least approximately the distribution of noise and/or the distribution of artifacts in the reconstruction image. The image quality of the resultant three-dimensional image is thus significantly improved.

摘要： A computed tomography method and apparatus are provided wherein a radiation source moves circularly relative to an examination zone about an axis of rotation (14). The radiation source produces a cone beam of x-rays and the focal point of this cone beam is switched between at least two positions (23a, 23b) spaced apart from each other and arranged on a line parallel to the axis of rotation to enlarge the reconstructable examination zone parallel to the axis of rotation. Preferably, the image of the examination zone is reconstructed using an iterative reconstruction method, in particular an algebraic reconstruction method or a maximum likelihood method.

摘要： In the CT imaging of non-homogeneously moving objects such as the heart or the coronary vessel tree, there is a problem that different parts of the objects are at rest at different points in time. Thus, a gated reconstruction with a globally selected time point does not yield a sharp image of such objects. According to the present invention, a motion of the objects is estimated, describing the motion of selected regions of these objects. Then, on the basis of the estimated motion, time points are determined, where these areas have minimal motion. Then, an image is reconstructed, wherein the data from which the respective regions are reconstructed, correspond to the respective time points, where the regions have minimal motion. Due to this, an improved image qualify maybe provided.

摘要： Spectral CT systems require cheap detectors with high energy resolution. According to an aspect of the present invention, a computer tomography apparatus comprises a detector element which is segmented into a plurality of sub-pixels. Each sub-pixel has at least two thresholds and counting channels, wherein the second threshold for each sub-pixel varies over the nominal detector element. This may provide for an improved energy-resolved photon counting.

摘要： The invention relates to a computed tomography method in which a rebinning operation is carried out so as to form parallel fan beams whose rays traverse a plane, containing the axis of rotation, in equidistant puncture points. Reconstruction is performed for rays which extend perpendicularly to said planes. Such a transition from a cone beam geometry to a parallel beam geometry enables very fast reconstruction which can be carried out notably for CT fluoroscopy.

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).
