摘要:
An imaging system includes a two-dimensional detector having a plurality of cells wherein each cell is configured to detect energy or signal passing through an object. The imaging system includes a computer programmed to acquire imaging data for the plurality of cells, identify a cell to be corrected, based on the imaging data, interpolate Ix and Iy for the identified cell based on neighbor cells, and calculate local gradients gx and gy between the identified cell and its neighbor cells based on the interpolation. The computer is further programmed to calculate weighting factors wx and wy based on the local gradients, calculate a corrected final value I(0,0) for the identified cell, and correct the identified cell with the corrected final value.

The present invention provides a method and system for reducing artifacts in tomosynthesis reconstructed images. The artifacts reduction method comprises back-projecting only a part of the projection image. The method includes acquiring plurality of projection images from different projection angles. It further includes identifying an area of interest of each projection image based on a predefined area and back project the area of interest of each projection image to reconstruct at least one three dimensional image. In an embodiment the area of interest of the projection image is identified based on field of view of the collimator. In another embodiment the invention provides a tomosynthesis system producing a 3-D image with reduced reducing artifacts.
摘要:
Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which a specialized back-projection process reconstructs a finely detailed and crisp three-dimensional image (3-D ) from a series of two-dimensional (2-D) images by pre-filtering the 2-D images with a first group of settings before back-projecting the 2-D images into a 3-D image, and then post-filtering the 3-D image with another group of settings. In some embodiments, the first group of settings and the second group of settings are synergistically optimized in relation to each other to provide emphasis on a structure of interest in the object.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for tomosynthesis image quality control for a tomosynthesis imaging system, the method and apparatus addressing the measurement of in-plane resolution and slice thickness, via the measurement of modulation transfer function (MTF), the method and apparatus including: positioning a phantom having an edge of predetermined sharpness at a predetermined angle relative to an imaging plane of an x-ray detector; performing tomosynthesis acquisition and generating one or more slice images using one or more three-dimensional reconstruction algorithms; selecting a slice image to be measured from the one or more slice images; identifying a sharpest edge in the slice image to be measured, wherein the sharpest edge in the slice image to be measured includes the in-focus portion of the phantom; inputting the slice image to be measured and coordinates of the sharpest edge in the slice image to be measured into an MTF algorithm; and, using the MTF algorithm, calculating the in-plane resolution and slice thickness of the slice image to be measured.
摘要:
A technique is provided for non-uniform weighting in back-projection calculations in tomosythesis. The non-uniform weighting may include weighting based on a count map of the number of times pixels of individual slices are traversed by radiation in different projections. Weighting may also include non-uniform functions for contributions of features at different slice level to the sensed X-ray attenuation system response inconsistencies are accounted for by further weighting based upon projection maps which may be created in separate system calibration or configuration routines.
