    摘要: The invention relates to a method of reconstructing images from cone beam projection data from an examination zone (3) of an object to be examined. The cone beam projection data is acquired by means of an X-ray device which includes an X-ray source (1) and an X-ray image intensifier (2), the X-ray source (1) being guided along a trajectory around the examination zone (3) in order to acquire the projection data. First projection data are then acquired from the examination zone (3) in a first mode of operation of the X-ray image intensifier (2) which involves a low resolution. For a sub-zone (4) of the examination zone (3) second projection data is acquired in a second mode of operation of the X-ray image intensifier (2) which involves a high resolution. Subsequently, the first and second projection data is combined so as to form third projection data. The third projection data is represented by the second projection data in the sub-zone (4) of the examination zone (3) and by the first projection data in the remaining part (3a) of the examination zone (3). The images are reconstructed on the basis of the third projection data. The invention also relates to a corresponding X-ray device, notably a C-arm X-ray device.

    摘要: An X-ray device for the formation of slice images of an object to be examined including an X-ray source, an X-ray detector, a transport device for moving the object during the acquisition of a series of X-ray projection images of the object in a movement plane situated parallel to the imaging plane, and a control device for controlling the acquisition of the X-ray projection images and the transport device. Slice images of the object are formed from the X-ray projection images by a tomosynthesis method. In order to enable the formation of slice images of large objects to be examined, or of large parts thereof, within a period of time which is as short as possible, the X-ray source and the X-ray detector are stationary during the acquisition of the X-ray projection images and the control device is configured such that the speed of motion of the object and the moments of acquisition of the X-ray projection images are such that all points to be examined in an examination zone of the object are imaged in at least 10, but preferably in at least 50 different X-ray projection images.

    摘要: The invention relates to an anti-scatter grid for an X-ray device which serves to reduce scattered radiation generated in an object to be examined and includes a plurality of absorber laminations for the absorption of the scattered radiation and a channel medium which is transparent to X-rays and arranged between the absorber laminations. In order to enable notably simple and precise manufacture of such an anti-scatter grid while the primary radiation is attenuated as little as possible and scattered radiation is attenuated as much as possible, in accordance with the invention a non-elastic high-resistance foam, notably a polymethacrylimide high-resistance foam, is used as the channel medium. The invention also relates to a collimator, for example, for a single-photon emitter or a positron emitter, in which a non-elastic high-resistance foam is also used as the channel medium between the laminations.

    摘要: A method and a device provide for the registration of two 3D image data sets of an object to be examined. The object to be examined is provided with a plurality of markers In order to enable a registration to be carried out, the positions of the markers in the 3D image data sets are first determined in a co-ordinate system associated with the relevant 3D image data set. The distances between the markers and/or the angles formed between lines which intersect in a marker and extend through two further markers are then determined. Finally, a transformation rule for the transformation of one of the 3D image data sets to the co-ordinate system of the other 3D image data set is determined.
