    摘要: A method for determining tracking control parameters for positioning an x-ray beam of a computed tomography imaging system, the imaging system including a movable collimator positionable in steps and a detector array including a plurality of detector elements arranged in rows and channels, the rows extending from a detector A-side to a detector B-side. The method includes determining a detector A-side and a detector B-side target beam penumbra position, computing a plurality of Z-ratio curves corresponding to different detector rows and detector channels, and comparing the Z-ratio curves at the detector A-side and detector B-side target beam positions to determine the optimal Z-ratio curve and corresponding detector channels and rows for controlling the X-ray beam positioning.

    摘要: A computed tomography assembly is providing including an x-ray gantry assembly, an x-ray source projecting a beam of x-rays, a detector assembly positioned opposite the x-ray source and receiving the beam of x-rays, and a control mechanism in communication with the x-ray source and the detector assembly. The control mechanism includes logic adapted to: execute at least one scout scan of the object to produce a first scout scan image; generate an elliptical patient model based on the first scout scan image; match the elliptical patient model to a phantom diameter approximation; generate a dose report based on the phantom diameter approximation; and display said dose report on a display in communication with the control mechanism.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for producing images of an object. The method includes dynamically helically scanning an object on a moving table utilizing a scanning imaging system. During the scan, projection views of the object are acquired and stored together with corresponding table locations. A plane for reconstruction of an image of the object is selected. The stored table locations are used to determine geometric variables applicable to the stored projection views; and the stored projection views are filtered and backprojected utilizing the geometrical variables to reconstruct an image of the object at the reconstruction plane.
