Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for the reconstruction of an object function (f(x)) based on projections acquired during the motion of a radiation source on a helical trajectory (17). The method is particularly suited for an n-PI+ acquisition which by definition completely comprises an n-PI and additionally some overscan data from the (n+2)−PI window. According to the method, two sets (Σ≧m, Σ≧m) of filtered projections are generated from the measuring values and separately back-projected to yield two absorption functions. The first absorption function (flf(x)) is based on contributions of Radon-planes with at most m intersections with the source trajectory (17), while the second absorption function (fhf(x)) is based on Radon-planes with more than m intersections with the source trajectory (17). The two absorption functions are added to yield the final absorption function (f(x)) of an object in the examination zone. In an approximative version of the method, the sets (Σ≧m, Σ≧m) of filtered projections are first added and then back-projected.

Abstract: If, in cardiac CT, the time window becomes shorter than the time required for a complete rotation of the gantry, the volume that can be reconstructed becomes small due to the non-existence of related pi-lines. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an examination apparatus is provided which generates a radiation beam oscillating in z-direction with an oscillation frequency higher than the rotational frequency of the source. This may provide for an exact image reconstruction of large volumes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computed tomography method in which a periodically moving object is irradiated by a conical beam bundle. An nPi-relative movement is generated between a radiation source, which generates the conical beam bundle, and the object. During the nPi-relative movement, measured values are acquired, which depend on the intensity in the beam bundle on the other side of the object and from these measured values filter values are determined, which are divided into different groups. The filter values of at least one group are weighted in dependence on the movement of the object, wherein, when filter values of several groups are weighted, filter values of different groups are weighted differently in dependence on the movement of the object. Finally, a CT image of the object is reconstructed from the filter values.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an imaging system for imaging a field of interest, in particular to a computed tomography system. The imaging system comprises an irradiation unit (2) which moves relative to a field of interest along a first trajectory (501) and along a second trajectory (503). While the irradiation unit (2) moves along the first trajectory (501), first detection data are acquired and, while the irradiation unit (2) moves along the second trajectory (503), second detection data are acquired. An intermediate image of the field of interest is reconstructed from at least the second detection data, and virtual detection data are determined by forward projection through the intermediate image. Finally, an image of the field of interest is reconstructed from the first detection data and the virtual detection data.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computerized tomography method, in which an examination area is scanned radiographically along a helical trajectory by a conical beam. The radiation transmitted through the examination area is measured by means of a detector unit, wherein the absorption distribution in the examination area is reconstructed exactly or at least quasi-exactly from these measured values. Reconstruction uses redundant measured values and comprises derivation of the measured values from parallel rays of different projections, integration of these values along κ-lines, weighting of these values and back-projection.
