摘要: A method is for noise reduction in image recordings. In an embodiment, the method includes providing an input image; de-noising the input image and producing a de-noised input image; and adapting noise texture of pixels of the de-noised input image via an adaptation method, noise amplitude of the de-noised input image being largely retained and the noise texture of the pixels of the de-noised input image being adapted to correspond largely to a defined noise texture. A corresponding device, a production method for an adaptation device, such an adaptation device, and a control facility and a computed tomography system are also disclosed.

摘要: A method is described for the determination of a calcium score for a patient to be examined with the aid of a CT system. The method is used to define patient-specific CT-acquisition parameters. In addition, material parameters for a model method for the generation of synthetic image data for virtual CT-acquisition parameters are calibrated using phantom image data recorded with reference CT-acquisition parameters. A calcium score assigned to synthetic phantom image data corresponds to a calcium score determined with phantom image data recorded with reference CT-acquisition parameters. Next, CT-projection-measurement data is acquired for a region of interest using the patient-specific CT-acquisition parameters. The acquired CT-projection-measurement data is used to generate synthetic image data using the calibrated model method. Finally, a calcium score is determined using a standard method on the basis of the synthetic image data. Also described is a calcium-score-determining device. Also described is a computed tomography system.

摘要: A method for determining a spatial distribution of a material property value in an examination region of an examination object is described. With an embodiment of the method, projection scan data is acquired which has been produced with the aid of a single-energy CT scan with a defined X-ray energy spectrum from the examination region of the examination object using a defined scan projection geometry. Furthermore, a target function is established which includes a spectral forward projection of the sought spatial distribution and the acquired projection data. Finally, a spatial distribution of a material property value is determined for which the target function assumes an extremal value. A material property distribution-determining device is also described. A computer tomography system is described, moreover.

摘要: In a method and apparatus for segmentation of an examination region to be imaged, scan projection data are acquired from the examination region to be mapped. Iterative reconstruction takes place on the basis of the acquired scan projection data. Preliminary image data and preliminary textural features are reconstructed. Anticipated preliminary structures, preferably preliminary contours, are determined in the examination region on the basis of the obtained preliminary textural features. The anticipated preliminary structures are then taken into account during iterative reconstruction of preliminary image data and preliminary textural features. An image segmentation method is described, moreover. An image reconstruction device is also described.

摘要: A method is for determining a spatial distribution of a material property value in an examination region of an examination object. According to an embodiment, the method includes capturing measurement projection data; reconstructing image data based upon the captured measurement projection data; estimating a distribution of two basic materials using a threshold value by classifying image points; determining a distribution of the two basic materials based upon the estimated distribution and a general dependency rule; and determining a spatial distribution of the material property value, independent of the measurement energy, based upon the determined distribution and based upon a previously known theoretical relationship between the distribution of the material property value and a distribution of the two basic materials. In addition, a material property distribution determining device is described in one embodiment, and a computer tomography system is also described in another embodiment.

摘要: An adaptive method for generating CT image data is described. In the method, projection measurement data of an examination region of an examination object is acquired. Furthermore, uncorrected image data of the examination region is generated. Artifact-affected subregions of the examination region are determined on the basis of at least one part of the uncorrected image data. An artifact-reduced image reconstruction is carried out in the artifact-affected subregions of the examination region. Only artifact-reduced subimage data of the artifact-affected subregions is generated. Finally, artifact-reduced image data of the entire examination region is generated by combining at least one part of the uncorrected image data and the artifact-reduced subimage data. A reconstruction device is also described. Moreover, a computed tomography system is described.

摘要: A method and a system are disclosed for image acquisition, in which the protocol for controlling the CT scanner is computed automatically. The system includes a facility, which includes at least one CT scanner; a central PACS system in which image data and assigned metadata are stored as image data information, acquired with the facility; and an analysis unit, in terms of programming technology and/or circuit technology, for analyzing the captured image data information to automatically compute therefrom, the specific operating conditions and the facility-specific protocol parameters for the CT scanner protocol.
