Abstract:
Method for reconstruction of a 3D image data set of an examination area (13) examined using a radiation source (S) and a detector unit (16). The time interval between image recordings is shorter than that of the regular movement cycle of the object. Rotation of the source about a rotation axis (14) is controlled so that over n time intervals it covers an angle greater then 180 deg plus the cone angle ( beta ). Translation of the radiation source is such that its cone beam passes completely through the examination area at every point of the n time intervals. An Independent claim is made for a device for reconstruction of a 3D image data set of an examination area.
Abstract:
A medical computer tomography procedure illuminates an investigation region (13) through an aperture (31) by a beam (41) from a source (S) rotating (14) around the object with image reconstruction using linear and shaft angle, curved beam back projection of the detected (16) signal with square law distance and cosine beam angle weighting before one dimensional filtering and rebinning. Includes Independent claims for a computer tomograph and computer programs using the procedure.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a computed tomography method in which an examination zone is irradiated from two mutually offset, preferably circular trajectories. In an intermediate region the absorption distribution is reconstructed by means of measuring values from both trajectories, the weight with which the measuring values are used being larger as the distance between the voxel to be reconstructed and the relevant trajectory is smaller.
Abstract:
A reconstruction unit is provided for receiving a sequence of data sets, the data sets representing structural information of the object. The reconstruction unit performs receiving scheduling information related to the data sets of the sequence of data sets. Then reconstructing a sequence of coarse reconstructions of the object by using the sequence of data sets and the scheduling information. Afterwards a sequence of adapted models of the object is generated by adapting a respective model to each of the coarse reconstructions. Then a motion of a predetermined portion of each of the adapted models is determined and a specific data set of the sequence of data sets is selected, wherein the specific data set corresponds to the adapted model with the minimum motion of the predetermined portion. Finally the reconstruction unit performs reconstructing a fine reconstruction of at least the part of the object using the specific data set.
