摘要： A diagnostic imaging system (8) images a subject at a preselected phase point (46) which occurs in one or more successive pulmonary cycles. A breathing monitor (44) monitors a cyclic physiological parameter in the pulmonary cycle and generates a cyclic pulmonary phase indicative signal. A CT scanner (12) is disposed adjacent an examination region (28) to generate transmission radiation data. A data processor (60) reconstructs an attenuation map (96) from the transmission data by weighting the transmission radiation data such that each of the pulmonary phases contributes substantially equally to the attenuation map.

摘要： The invention relates to imaging systems in which during imaging of an object a matching medium is used to match the object to its surroundings. An interface device is used for phase contrast rim-imaging of the object, which comprises a compartment in which a deformable matching material is contained which can be pushed to the side when the object to be imaged is compressed. Thus, a lateral field of view for X-ray phase contrast mammography may be increased.

摘要： The present invention relates to an imaging apparatus for generating an image of a region of interest. The imaging apparatus comprises a radiation source (2), a detection unit (6) for generating detection data and a moving unit (1, 7, 8) for moving the radiation source (2) and the region of interest relative to each other, while the detection data are generated. The imaging apparatus further comprises an identification unit (13) for identifying in the detection data high density detection data and non-high density detection data. A density weighting unit (14) density weights the detection data, wherein at least a part of the high density detection data has a smaller density weight than the non-high density detection data, and a reconstruction unit (15) reconstructs an image of the region of interest from the weighted detection data.

摘要： 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 quality may be provided.
摘要翻译：在诸如心脏或冠状血管树之类的非均匀运动物体的CT成像中，存在不同部分的物体在不同时间点处于静止状态的问题。因此，具有全局选择的时间点的门控重构不会产生这样的对象的清晰图像。根据本发明，估计对象的运动，描述这些对象的选定区域的运动。然后，在估计运动的基础上，确定这些区域具有最小运动的时间点。然后，重建图像，其中各个区域被重构的数据对应于各个时间点，其中区域具有最小的运动。由此，可以提供改善的图像质量。

摘要： To scan an object with differently shaped cone beams (112, 122), the present invention provides a CT scanner with a moveable X-ray tube (the meaning of “move the x-ray tube among a plurality of predefined positions” also covers the situation that the anode disk is moved among a plurality of corresponding positions, while the shell of the x-ray tube does not move). The X-ray tube is not only moveable along the axial direction, but also along the radial direction of the CT scanner gantry. The scanner comprises an X-ray tube, which X-ray tube further comprises: an anode disk (100), comprising a plurality of focal tracks (110, 120) each focal track being cone-shaped with an anode angle (114, 124) different from the anode angle(s) of the other focal track(s); and a first cathode (210), configured to emanate an electron beam targeting at least one of the plurality of focal tracks. When different focal tracks are bombarded by electron beams, different X-ray beams (112, 122) with differently shaped cone beams are generated.

摘要： When performing model-based segmentation on a 3D patient image (80), metal artifacts in the patient image (80), caused by metal in the patient's body, are detected, and a metal artifact reduction technique is performed to reduce the artifact(s) by interpolation projection data in the region of the artifact(s). The interpolated data is used to generate an uncertainty map for artifact-affected voxels in the image, and a mesh model (78) is conformed to the image to facilitate segmentation thereof. Internal and external energies applied to push and pull the model (78) are weighted as a function of the uncertainty associated with one or more voxels in the image (80). Iteratively, mathematical representations of the energies and respective weights are solved to describe an updated model shape that more closely aligns to the image (80).

摘要： If, in cardiac CT, the time window becomes shorter than the time required for a complete rotation of the gantry, the volume that can be reconstructed becomes small due to the non-existence of related pi-lines. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an examination apparatus is provided which generates a radiation beam oscillating in z-direction with an oscillation frequency higher than the rotational frequency of the source. This may provide for an exact image reconstruction of large volumes.
