摘要： Systems and methods are provided for acquiring and reconstructing projection data using a computed tomography (CT) system having stationary distributed X-ray sources and detector arrays. In one embodiment, a non-sequential activation of X-ray source locations on an annular source is employed to acquire projection data. In another embodiment, a distributed source is tilted relative to an axis of the scanner to acquire the projection data. In a further embodiment, a plurality of X-ray source locations on an annular source are activated such that the aggregated signals correspond to two or more sets of spatially interleaved helical scan data.

摘要： A method, system, and machine readable media are provided for correcting scatter in an image. The method comprises sequentially emitting radiation from a subset of radiation sources toward a detector array and measuring radiation on areas of the detector array not exposed to the emitted primary radiation at the time of measurement. Scatter is estimated from the measured radiation. Furthermore, the scatter estimates are subtracted from the measured data and images with improved image quality are reconstructed.

摘要： A method for reconstructing image data acquired by a computed tomography system is provided. The method comprises selecting a portion of image data to be reconstructed and determining a corresponding portion of projection data. An adaptive filter is computed and applied to the portion of projection data to generate a portion of adaptively-filtered projection data. The adaptive filter is computed based upon desired quality properties of the portion of image data. Finally, the portion of image data is reconstructed based upon the portion of adaptively-filtered projection data. The step of selecting, computing and reconstructing is repeated for every pixel or group of pixels comprising the image data.

摘要： Techniques, hardware, and software are provided for quantification of extensional features of structures of an imaged subject from image data representing a two-dimensional or three-dimensional image. In one embodiment, stenosis in a blood vessel may be quantified from volumetric image data of the blood vessel. A profile from a selected family of profiles is fit to selected image data. An estimate of cross sectional area of the blood vessel is generated based on the fit profile. Area values may be generated along a longitudinal axis of the vessel, and a one-dimensional profile fit to the generated area values. An objective quantification of stenosis in the vessel may be obtained from the area profile. In some cases, volumetric image data representing the imaged structure may be reformatted to facilitate the quantification, when the structural feature varies along a curvilinear axis. A mask is generated for the structural feature to be quantified based on the volumetric image data. A curve representing the curvilinear axis is determined from the mask by center-finding computations, such as moment calculations, and curve fitting. Image data are generated for oblique cuts at corresponding selected orientations with respect to the curvilinear axis, based on the curve and the volumetric image data. The oblique cuts may be used for suitable further processing, such as image display or quantification.

摘要： A system is provided for identifying faults in a non-OEM computed tomography system having components in connection with the detectors to reconstruct an image. Then, correlation values are derived from baseline reference data files and current data files collected after a fault is suspected in the CT system. The correlation values are compared against a threshold to identify suspect detectors and a pattern recognition algorithm is applied to determine if the suspect detectors are faulty or if one of the components processing the output signals has failed. If baseline files are unavailable, the identification of faulty components is accomplished by performing correlation between the current data files and average profile values.
