    摘要: Methods and systems for image overlap correction are provided. The method includes acquiring the emission projection data from a plurality of scan frames that extend across at least a portion of a length of an object being imaged wherein elements of the object lie between a region of overlap between two successive frames. The method further includes iteratively reconstructing a 3D image volume from multi-frame emission projection data by updating an estimate of 3D image volume using emission projection data from the plurality of frames within an iterative reconstruction loop.

    摘要: Embodiments of methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable media for tomographic imaging are presented. 3D TOF projection data is processed to generate corresponding data in a designated format that allows for computationally cheaper image reconstruction than the 3D TOF projection data. Further, one or more preliminary images are reconstructed from the processed data using a particular image reconstruction technique for one or more iterations. To that end, one or more imaging parameters are iteratively varied every one or more iterations. The imaging parameters, for example, include the designated format, the image reconstruction technique and one or more image quality characteristics. One or more intermediate images are reconstructed from the one or more preliminary images using the iteratively varying imaging parameters. Further, 3D TOF images having the one or more designated image quality characteristics are generated using the one or more intermediate images and the iteratively varying imaging parameters.

    摘要: An imaging system including is described. The imaging system includes a radiation source configured to generate a beam, a collimator configured to collimate the beam to generate a collimated beam, and a detector configured to detect the collimated beam. The collimator is one of a first collimator with a curved contour proportional to a contour of the detector, a second collimator with blades, where slopes of two oppositely-facing surfaces of at least one of the blades are different from each other, and a third collimator having at least two sets of plates, where the plates in a set pivot with respect to each other.
