摘要： A CT apparatus reduces errors in projection data acquired in helical scanning. The imaged object moves concurrently along a translation axis and the x-ray beam is periodically translated with the imaged object so as to subtend a single predetermined volume element during the acquisition of one projection set of data for a first slice. The x-ray beam then returns to its starting position and tracks a second predetermined volume element within a next slice. The x-ray beam may be translated by moving the focal point or a collimator or a combination of both. Helical scans with a pitch requiring sweeping of the x-ray beam beyond the detector limits are accommodated by limiting the sweep to a lessor compliance distance. The angular rate of the sweep is held constant within this compliance distance during the sweep.

摘要： A CT apparatus for reducing aliasing in reconstructed images uses an x-ray tube with a translatable focal spot to double the spatial sampling rate, over that achieved by a conventional CT machine. Radial resolution artifacts in the image, identified to the "bleeding through" of previous samples from different focal spot positions into the present sample are removed by a convolution process employing the inverse of the detector transfer function. Timing of the data sampling with respect to the changing of the wobble positions is also employed to minimize the bleed through and to improve signal-to-noise ratio.

摘要： A method of reducing artifacts in images acquired with fan beam, helical scanning, tomographic imaging systems, applies a weighting function to the tomographic projection set. The weighting function reduces the contribution to the final image of projection data with large helical offset. Other redundant data within the projection set is increased in weight by the weighting function to prevent image artifacts from the weighting. In one embodiment, the projection set is centered on the slice plane to avoid discontinuities in the projection data caused by the weighting functions.

摘要： An x-ray CT system has a detector which revolves about the object being imaged to acquire attenuation data from many different angles through a range of at least 180.degree.. The response of the detector has a time lag which as the detector revolves tends to blur the attenuation data. The acquired data is compensated for the resolution degradation by convolving the data with a function that is the inverse of a response function of the detector. An image can be reconstructed from this compensated data. However, this compensation process tends to reintroduce noise that was reduced by the blurring. As a result, a modified version of the detector response function is applied to the compensated data to reduce the noise without degrading the image resolution to an unacceptable level.

摘要： A method of reducing image helical scanning; artifacts in computed tomography imaging systems divides 360.degree. of projection data into two half scans. Separate weighting functions are applied to the two half scans and they are reconstructed to an image per conventional reconstruction methods. The weighting functions provide effective interpolation and extrapolation of the half scan data to a slice plane centered in the projection data. In one embodiment, the weighting functions are feathered with a cubic function to remove weighting induced image artifacts.

摘要： A method of reducing image helical scanning artifacts in fourth generation computed tomography imaging systems, rebins 360.degree. of projection data into two half scans. The data of the half scans is spliced so as to create 360.degree. of contiguous detector vertex projections. A weighting function is applied to the two half scans and they are reconstructed to an image per conventional reconstruction methods. The weighting functions provide effective interpolation and extrapolation of the half scan data to a slice plane centered in the projection data. In one embodiment, the weighting functions are feathered with a cubic function to remove weighting induced image artifacts.

摘要： A method of reducing image artifacts in images acquired with fan beam, helical scanning, tomographic imaging systems rebins the fan beam data into parallel beam projection sets. Data is spliced from first areas of the parallel beam projection data to second areas to create a set of 2.pi. radians of complete projection data. The 2.pi. of projection data is divided into half scans which are interpolated and extrapolated to produce a new projection set at the slice plane with reduced helical offset error. A feathering function is used to blend the discontinuities in the interpolation and extrapolation weights to prevent streak image artifacts.

摘要： A method of reducing image artifacts in images acquired with fan beam, helical scanning, tomographic imaging systems uses half scans of less than 360.degree. of projection data of an imaged object on each side of the slice plane being imaged. The half scans are weighted with half scan weighting factors to compensate for redundant data and are weighted with helical scanning weighting factors to interpolate the half scans projection data to projection data at the slice plane. The imaged object may be moved one slice thickness for each 360.degree. of scanning so that the half scans are concentrated closer to the slice plane thereby reducing interpolation errors. Alternatively, for a series of slice images, the imaged object may be moved one slice thickness for each half scan to reduce average slice acquisition time.

摘要： A system and method for multi-spectral MR imaging near metal include a computer programmed to calculate an MR pulse sequence comprising a plurality of RF pulses configured to excite spins in an imaging object and comprising a plurality of volume selection gradients and determine a plurality of distinct offset frequency values. For each respective determined offset frequency value, the computer is programmed to execute the MR pulse sequence having a central transmit frequency and a central receive frequency of the MR pulse sequence set to the respective determined offset frequency value. The computer is also programmed to acquire a three-dimensional (3D) MR data set for each MR pulse sequence execution and generate a composite image based on data from each of the acquired 3D MR data sets.
