    Abstract: In the CT imaging of non-homogeneously moving objects such as the heart or the coronary vessel tree, there is a problem that different parts of the objects are at rest at different points in time. Thus, a gated reconstruction with a globally selected time point does not yield a sharp image of such objects. According to the present invention, a motion of the object is estimated, describing the motion of selected regions of these objects. Then, on the basis of the estimated motion, time points are determined, where these areas have minimal motion. Then, an image is reconstructed, wherein the data from which the respective regions are reconstructed, correspond to the respective time points, where the regions have minimal motion. Due to this, an improved image qualify maybe provided.

    Abstract: Coronary artery segmentation is a crucial task in cardiac CT image processing. This is often a tedious task performed manually by an operator. According to the present invention, a method is provided which combines data from multiple cardiac phases during the segmentation process in order to deliver a complete and continuous coronary vessel tree. Advantageously, this may allow for an improved visualization and segmentation of vessels, for example, in coronary CTA.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a computed tomography method which involves a conical radiation beam which irradiates the examination zone along at least two trajectories that are offset relative to one another in the direction of the axis of rotation, the distance between the trajectories being chosen to be so large that voxels in an intermediate region are not completely irradiated neither in one trajectory nor in the other trajectory. The absorption distribution in this intermediate region can be reconstructed without loss of image quality when measuring data from both trajectories are combined.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a computer tomography method in which a bundle of rays passes through an object that is moving periodically, in particular a heart. During the acquisition of measured values, a movement signal dependent on the movement of the object is sensed. From this movement signal are determined periodically repeated phases of movement, after which a plurality of intermediate images of a region of the object are reconstructed, in particular at a low resolution, using measured values whose times of acquisition were situated in different phases of movement, thus enabling each intermediate image to be assigned to a phase of movement. The phase of movement in which the object moved least in the region is then identified by determining the intermediate image having the fewest motion artifacts. Finally, a computer tomographic image of the region is reconstructed, in particular with a high spatial resolution, from measured values whose times of acquisition were situated in the phase of movement in which there was the least movement by the object in said region.
