摘要: Systems and method for performing a medical imaging analysis task for making a clinical decision are provided. One or more input medical images of a patient are received. A medical imaging analysis task is performed from the one or more input medical images using a machine learning based network. The machine learning based network generates a probability score associated with the medical imaging analysis task. An uncertainty measure associated with the probability score is determined. A clinical decision is made based on the probability score and the uncertainty measure.

摘要: A method is disclosed for generating an image. An embodiment of the method includes detecting a first projection data set via a first group of detector units, the first group including a first plurality of first detector units, each having more than a given number of detector elements; detecting a second projection data set via a second group of detector units, the second group including a second plurality of second detector units, each including, at most, the given number of detector elements; reconstructing first image data based on the first projection data set; reconstructing second image data based on the second projection data set; and combining the first image data and the second image data. A non-transitory computer readable medium, a data processing unit, and an imaging device including the data processing unit are also disclosed.

摘要: An X-ray imaging method is for generating image data of a field of view of an object to be examined. In the method, firstly an individual imaging protocol is determined for imaging of the object to be examined. Furthermore, first X-ray projection measurement data with a first X-ray energy spectrum and at least one set of second contrast medium-influenced X-ray projection measurement data with a second X-ray energy spectrum, are acquired from the field of view. A third X-ray energy spectrum with a third mean energy is then determined on the basis of the determined individual imaging protocol. Subsequently, preferably pseudo-monoenergetic image data, associated with the third X-ray energy spectrum, is reconstructed on the basis of the acquired first and at least second X-ray projection measurement data as well as the determined imaging protocol. An image data-generating device is also described. A computerized tomography system is described, moreover.

摘要: A method is for determining at least one first characteristic value of blood in a patient. In an embodiment, the method includes acquiring, via a computed tomography device, computed tomography data of the patient for at least two energy levels of radiation using multi-energy computed tomography; defining a region of interest including blood, in at least one image data set reconstructed from the computed tomography data acquired; determining, at least in the region of interest defined, attenuation coefficients for each energy level of the at least two energy levels; performing material decomposition into at least two materials, one material of the two materials being iron, using the attenuation coefficients determined, yielding at least a fraction of iron in the region of interest defined; and determining the at least one first characteristic value, at least one of as and from the fraction of iron yielded.

摘要: A method is for recording a region of interest of an examination object with a computed tomography system including an energy-selective X-ray detector with a number of energy threshold values that can be set by way of an energy threshold values. In an embodiment, the method includes first recording of first projection scan data with a first set of energy thresholds; setting a second set of energy thresholds different from the first set of energy thresholds, based on a temporally variable parameter; and second recording of second projection scan data different from the first projection scan data with the second set of energy thresholds.

摘要: An X-ray imaging method is for generating contrast-enhanced image data relating to an examination region of an object to be examined. In an embodiment of the method, first contrast-agent influenced measured X-ray projection data with a first X-ray energy spectrum and at least one set of second contrast-agent influenced measured X-ray projection data with a second X-ray energy spectrum are acquired from the examination region. Subsequently, image data assigned to a third X-ray energy spectrum with a third mean energy, based on the first and at least second measured X-ray projection data is reconstructed based on the first and at least second measured X-ray projection data that has been acquired. A mean energy of the first X-ray energy spectrum and a mean energy of the second X-ray energy spectrum are selected as a function of a dimension parameter value of the object that is to be examined.

摘要: A method is for local improvement of the image quality of an imaging X-ray acquisition. In an embodiment, the method includes localizing an imaging region of a structure; selecting an environment of the imaging region; setting an acquisition parameter for the environment of the imaging region, wherein the acquisition parameter for the environment of the imaging region is different from a region outside of the environment of the imaging region; and acquiring an image dataset.

摘要: A CT-based clinical decision support system provides coronary decision support. With or without CT-FFR, a machine learnt predictor predicts the clinical decision for the patient based on input from various sources. Using the machine learnt predictor provides more consistent and comprehensive consideration of the available information. The clinical decision support may be provided prior to review of coronary CT data by a radiologist and/or treating physician, providing a starting point or recommendation that may be used by the radiologist and/or treating physician.
