摘要： To perform cone beam reconstruction by using projection data correctly corresponding to X-ray beam having passed through each pixel in the reconstruction area, data D1 is obtained which is plane projected to a plane based on projection data D0. Then, plane projection data D1 to the projection plane pp is projected to the reconstruction area in the direction of X-ray transmission to obtain back projection pixel data D2. Thereafter, back projection pixel data D2 will be added for each corresponding pixel for all views to obtain back projection data D3. The present invention provides reconstruction by device of projection data correctly corresponding to the X-ray beam having passed through the reconstruction area. Through the plane projection to a plane the operation will become simplified and faster.

摘要： A method for processing digital images includes acquiring a phase difference image which includes one or more phase wraps, creating a modulated phase difference image from the phase difference image, comparing the modulated phase difference image to the phase difference image to locate areas in the phase difference image to be unwrapped, and unwrapping the phase difference image based on the areas located in the comparing step. The unwrapping step is performed by replacing wrapped pixels in the phase difference image with pixels in the modulated phase difference image plus an integer multiple of &pgr;. The integer multiplier is computed by comparing overlapping pixels in the image segments. This has a smoothing effect causing the wrapped pixels in the phase difference image to become unwrapped. As a result of this pixel replacement process, an image of improved quality and information content is produced compared with conventional methods.
摘要翻译：一种处理数字图像的方法包括获取包括一个或多个相位包的相位差图像，从相位差图像创建调制相位差图像，将调制相位差图像与相位差图像进行比较，以定位相位差中的区域图像被展开，并且基于位于比较步骤中的区域展开相位差图像。通过将相位差图像中的包围像素替换为调制相位差图像中的像素加上pi的整数倍来执行展开步骤。通过比较图像片段中的重叠像素来计算整数乘数。这具有使相位差图像中的被包裹的像素变得展开的平滑效果。作为该像素替换处理的结果，与常规方法相比，产生了改善的质量和信息内容的图像。

摘要： The present invention is a directed to method and system of TCT imaging whereupon data associated with unmeasured or inadmissible transducer locations is determined from data acquired at measured or admissible transducer locations. The invention analyzes measured TCT data associated with several transducer locations to provide an estimate of unmeasured data so as to complete a full data set for image reconstruction. In this regard, by measuring TCT data at many points on the surface of a hemispherical bowl or sphere in which an imaging object is placed, mathematical coefficients may be determined for the TCT data as a function of transducer location. From these coefficients, the unmeasured transducer locations may be evaluated such that data associated with the unmeasured transducer locations may be estimated and utilized for image reconstruction to improve image quality as well as improve the diagnostic sensitivities or capabilities of the TCT system.
