    • A cardiac gated spiral CT scanner (10) has a source of penetrating radiation (20) arranged for rotation about an examination region (14) having a central axis extending in a z direction. The source (20) emits a beam of radiation (22) that passes through the examination region (14) as the source (20) rotates. A patient support (30) holds a patient within the examination region (14) and translates the patient through the examination region (14) in the z direction while this source (20) is rotated such that the source (20) follows a helical path relative to the patient. A control processor (90) implements a patient-specific scan protocol in response to measured patient characteristics (for example, the patient's heart rate, the patient's breath hold time, and/or the range of coverage in the z direction based on the patient's anatomy) and scanner characteristics (for example, the number of detector rings, and/or the scan rate). Radiation detectors (40) are arranged to receive radiation from the source (20) after it has traversed the examination region (14). An ECG monitor (80) acquires ECG data from the patient. The ECG data is used to correlate phases of the patient's heart with data collected by the radiation detectors (40). An image reconstruction processor (60) reconstructs image representations of the patient based on data received from the radiation detectors (40) and ECG monitor (80). A human viewable display (70) selectively displays the image representations for assessing cardiac function.

    • The invention relates to a computer tomography method, in which a periodically moving object, especially a heart, is irradiated by a beam bundle. In that process, intermediate images of one and the same subregion of the object are reconstructed using measured values from time intervals from different periods. That is, in each case exactly one period can be allocated to each intermediate image. The time intervals in the individual periods are adjusted in such a way that, after a reconstruction of the intermediate images using measured values that lie in the adjusted time intervals, a similarity measure applied to the intermediate images of the same subregion is minimized. This method can be applied to one, several or all subregions of the object that are reconstructable using measured values from time intervals from different periods. Finally, a computer tomography image is reconstructed, wherein exclusively measured values from the adjusted time intervals are used.
    • 本发明涉及一种计算机断层摄影方法,其中周期性移动的物体,特别是心脏被束束照射。 在该过程中,使用来自不同周期的时间间隔的测量值重建对象的一个​​和相同子区域的中间图像。 也就是说,在每种情况下,可以将一个周期分配给每个中间图像。 调整各个周期中的时间间隔,使得在使用位于调整时间间隔中的测量值重建中间图像之后,应用于相同子区域的中间图像的相似性度量被最小化。 可以使用来自不同周期的时间间隔的测量值将该方法应用于可重构的对象的一个​​,几个或所有子区域。 最后,重建计算机断层摄影图像,其中使用来自经调整的时间间隔的专用测量值。

    • A conebeam computed tomography scanner (10) acquires conebeam projection data along a generally helical source trajectory around an examination region (14). An exact reconstruction processor (40) includes a convolution processor (42) and an aperture weighted backprojection processor (46, 66). The convolution processor (42) performs at least one convolution of the acquired projection data. The convolving operates on projection data falling within an exact reconstruction window (38) and on at least some redundant projection data falling outside the exact reconstruction window (38) to produce convolved projection data. The aperture-weighted backprojection processor (46, 66) performs aperture-weighted backprojecting of the convolved projection data using an aperture weighting function that weightedly combines at least some convolved redundant projection data with convolved projection data falling within the exact reconstruction window (38) to generate a reconstructed image with contributions from redundant projection data.
