    摘要: A multi-spectral CT imaging method, preferably a CT imaging method, is described. Spectrally resolved projection scan data is acquired from a region to be imaged of an examination object. The data is assigned to a plurality of pre-determined different partial spectra. Spectrally resolved image data is reconstructed with a plurality of attenuation values for each image point of the region to be imaged. The attenuation values are each assigned to one of the pre-determined different partial spectra. Furthermore, an extremal attenuation value is determined for each image point on the basis of the plurality of attenuation values. A representative image data set is determined such that the determined extremal attenuation value is assigned to each image point.

    摘要: A method for reconstructing image data during CT imaging is described. In the method, a plurality of independent data records of projection measured data are captured. A combined data record is then determined based on the captured data records. In addition, morphological information is determined based on the combined data record. A target data record is also determined based on the captured independent data records. A target image data record is reconstructed based on the target data record and the determined morphological information. An image data determination facility and a computed tomography system are also described.

    摘要: At least one embodiment of the invention relates to a method for the reconstruction of image data of an examined object from measuring data, wherein the measuring data were detected by a detector within and outside of its Tam-Danielsson window during a relative spiral movement between a radiation source of a computer tomography system and the examined object. As a result of the spiral movement, the measuring data outside of the Tam-Danielsson contain interruptions. A mathematically precise first reconstruction of first image data is realized in at least one embodiment based on the measuring data by using only measuring data from the Tam-Danielsson window. A mathematically precise second reconstruction is furthermore realized of second image data from the measuring data in at least one embodiment, using at least among other things measuring data from outside of the Tam-Danielsson window, wherein the interruption of the measuring data is compensated for by using existing measuring data and/or the first image data and/or other image data obtained from existing measuring data. Finally, the first image data and the second image data are combined.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for generating computed tomography image data of a volume of interest from X-ray CT data sets generated by a computed tomography system during scanning of an examination subject on a helical path rotating around a longitudinal system axis in the infeed direction. In at least one embodiment, at least two volume-based reconstructions of the volume of interest are performed by way of differential back-projection over surfaces constituted by different groups of M-lines, followed in each case by an inverse Hilbert transformation, the groups of M-lines for the reconstructions being selected from different of the following M-line subsets: i) a first M-line subset which is selected such that a surface constituted by the respective M-lines meets the detector surface completely within a Tam-Danielsson window, ii) a second M-line subset which is selected such that a surface constituted by the respective M-lines intersects a detector area before the Tam-Danielsson window in the infeed direction, iii) a third M-line subset which is selected such that a surface constituted by the respective M-lines intersects a detector area after the Tam-Danielsson window in the infeed direction. Lastly, the different reconstructed volumes are combined to form a final reconstruction of the volume of interest.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for the reconstruction of image data of an object under examination from measured data, wherein the measured data has been acquired during a relative rotational movement between a radiation source of a computed tomography system and the object under examination. A delimited area between the radiation source and a detector represents a field of view, in respect of which measured data can be acquired. During the measured data acquisition, parts of the object under examination were located at least partly outside of the field of view. A reconstruction is carried out of first image data from the measured data. The first image data is modified via a threshold value comparison, and the modified data is processed with a morphological filter, and projection data is calculated. The measured data is modified using the projection data, and, second image data is reconstructed.
