    Abstract: A CT scanner takes a three-dimensional CT image, and a right sinus cavity and a left sinus cavity of a patient are identified in the CT image. The sinus cavities can be manually or automatically identified. When the sinus cavities are clear, the sinus cavities appear black in the CT image. When fluid or static polyps fill the sinus cavities, the sinus cavities appear gray in the CT image. A computer evaluates the CT image to quantify the amount of fluid or static polyps in the sinus cavities.

    Abstract: A CT scanner system (10) provides projection-like images of a patient volume. After a CT scan is obtained and a three-dimensional model of the patient (P) is created, any synthetic view can be generated by choosing any array of projection lines, e.g. between a point and a surface (a flat plane, curved plane, spherical, etc.) or between two surfaces (parallel or not) and summing across the projection lines. The synthetic projections can mimic certain traditional views, such as a ceph scan, Water's view, Caldwell's projection, etc. or can provide a new view that is impossible or impractical with traditional x-ray equipment, such as a perfect parallel projection, or a projection that does not pass all the way through the patient.

    Abstract: A surgeon selects a volume of interest (59) by placing an untracked "marker" (31) in a patient near an area where an update is desired. During surgery, when an updated CT scan is requested, the CT scanner performs a scan of the patient using a full field of view to take a series of two-dimensional initial images of the patient from a plurality of angularly spaced positions about the patient. The position of the untracked marker is determined by the CT scanner in one or more of the initial images. The volume of interest is defined as the position of the untracked marker, plus some margin. The CT scanner then collimates the x-ray source to scan only the volume of interest. The CT scanner then completes the update scan of the volume of interest and updates a previous CT scan(s) to create a fully updated CT image, reducing x-ray exposure of the patient.

    Abstract: A CT scanner includes a pair of shields to protect an operator from x-rays from the CT scanner. The CT scanner has a gantry that provides structural support and housing for the components including an x-ray source and a detector arranged on the gantry to face one another. Lead shields are located on opposing sides of the x-ray source and extend between the x-ray source and the detector. The CT scanner further includes a computer located on an opposing side of the gantry from the x-ray source and the detector. The lead shields rotate with the gantry and prevent the x-ray from reaching the operator while the CT scanner is in operation.
