    摘要: A method generates an image sequence using a tomosynthesis system. The image sequence represents an object under examination in rotating fashion. In a first step at least two projection data sets for the object under examination are captured. These have been acquired using different X-ray spectra in each case and from a plurality of acquisition angles in each case. In a further step at least one combination data set is calculated on the basis of the projection data sets. Subsequently in a further step the image sequence is calculated on the basis of the combination data set. An image sequence generating apparatus and a tomosynthesis system perform this described method.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for graphically depicting a marker which is applied to an examination object in an imaging system. In an embodiment, the position of the marker is ascertained by way of a first measuring method. An image of the examination object is provided on the basis of a second measuring method, in which image the position of a graphical object that represents the marker in the image is ascertained and depicted on the basis of the first measuring method.

    摘要: A method image scans a female breast in the context of projective digital mammography or tomosynthesis with prefiltered x-ray radiation. From a single scanning two spatially superimposing images are created on the basis of pixel-by-pixel or pixel-group-by-pixel-group different x-ray energy spectra. An x-ray mammography system contains a radiator-detector system having an x-ray tube with a filter for generating a prefiltered x-ray radiation having a first radiation spectrum and a radiation detector containing a multiplicity of partial areas which generate individual image pixels. The radiator-detector system is configured to the effect that the partial areas receive pixel-by-pixel or pixel-group-by-pixel-group different radiation spectra, such that the two images from different x-ray spectra are received with a single scanning of the female breast. Ideally, the detector is a pixilated x-ray detector with a converting sensor layer that is divided into at least two sets of partial areas, the sets having different thicknesses.

    摘要: Contrast-enhanced image data of breast tissue to be examined is generated. First two-dimensional contrast-agent-influenced x-ray projection data of the breast tissue are acquired at a first x-ray beam energy and a two-dimensional image data record is generated on the basis of the first two-dimensional x-ray projection data. Second two-dimensional contrast-agent-influenced x-ray projection data are acquired from different projection angles at a second x-ray beam energy that differs from the first x-ray beam energy and a three-dimensional tomosynthesis image data record of the breast tissue is reconstructed from the detected second two-dimensional x-ray projection data. Subsequently, a two-dimensional synthetic mammogram is calculated on the basis of the three-dimensional tomosynthesis image data record and a two-dimensional dual-energy mammogram is established by subtracting the image data of the synthetic mammogram from the image data of the two-dimensional image data record.

    摘要: A method for simultaneous imaging of functional and morphological image data of a breast includes acquiring functional X-ray image data from the breast of a patient. In addition, morphological X-ray image data is acquired from the breast of the patient in the same breast position and with the same breast compression. A region of interest is defined on the basis of one of the two acquired data sets. A position of the region of interest is then determined in the other of the two acquired X-ray image data sets. The functional X-ray image data and the morphological X-ray image data are then each simultaneously graphically represented with the region of interest as a marked region. A diagnostic station, a non-transitory computer program product and a non-transitory computer-readable medium are also provided.
