    Abstract: A positron emission tomography (PET) system includes a memory (18), a subject support (3), a categorizing unit (20), and a reconstruction unit (22). The memory (18) continuously records detected coincident event pairs detected by PET detectors (4). The subject support (3) supports a subject and moves in a continuous movement through a field of view (10) of the PET detectors (4). The categorizing unit (20) categorizes the recorded coincident pairs into each of a plurality of spatially defined virtual frame (14). The reconstruction unit (22) reconstructs the categorized coincident pairs of each virtual frame into a frame image and combines the frame images into a common elongated image.

An image reconstruction setup module (50) is configured to retrieve an image recipient reconstruction profile from the database (52) for an intended image recipient associated with a set of medical imaging data and to invoke the image reconstruction module (30) to reconstruct the set of medical imaging data using image reconstruction parameter values of the retrieved image recipient reconstruction profile to generate a reconstructed image for the intended image recipient. A feedback acquisition module (54) is configured to acquire feedback from the intended image recipient pertaining to the reconstructed image for the intended image recipient. A profile updating module (56) is configured to update the image recipient reconstruction profile of the intended image recipient based on the acquired feedback.

    Abstract: In an emission imaging method, emission imaging data are acquired for a subject using an emission imaging scanner (10) including radiation detectors (12). The emission imaging data are reconstructed to generate a reconstructed image by executing a constrained optimization program including a measure of data fidelity between the acquired emission imaging data an a reconstruct-image transformed by a data model of the imaging scanner to emission imaging data. During the reconstructing, each iteration of the constrained optimization program is constrained by an image variability constraint. The reconstructed image is displayed the reconstructed image on a display device. The emission imaging may be positron emission tomography (PET) imaging data, optionally acquired using a sparse detector array. The image variability constraint may be a constraint that an image total variation (image TV) of a latent image defined using a Gaussian blurring matrix be less than a maximum value.

    Abstract: A nuclear scanner includes an annular support structure (12) which supports a plurality of radiation detector units (14), each detector unit including crystals (52), tiles (66) containing an array of crystals, or modules (14) of tiles. The detector units define annular ranks of crystals, and the annular ranks of crystals define spaces between the ranks. In another embodiment, the crystals define axial spaces between crystals. Separate rings of crystals have axial spaces that are staggered such that no area of the imaging region is missed. The spaces between the detector units may be adjusted to form uniform or non-uniform spacing. Moving the patient through the annular support structure compensates for reduced sampling under the spaces between ranks.

    Abstract: A diagnostic imaging system retrieves data (206) from a plurality of accessible data sources, the accessible data sources storing data including physiological data describing a subject to be imaged, a nature of a requested diagnostic image, image preferences of a clinician who requested the diagnostic image, and previously reconstructed images of the requested nature of the subject and/or other subjects, reconstruction parameters and/or sub-routines used to reconstruct the previously reconstructed images. The system analyzes (6, 12) the retrieved data to automatically generate reconstruction parameters and/or sub-steps specific to the nature of the requested diagnostic image, the subject, and the clinician image preferences. The system controls a display device (10, 216) to display the generated reconstruction parameters and/or sub-routines to the user for a user selection. The system sets a reconstruction processor system to reconstruct scan data using the selected reconstruction parameters and/or sub-routines.

    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions readable and executable by a workstation (18) including at least one electronic processor (20) to perform an image reconstruction method (100). The method includes: generating, from received imaging data, a plurality of intermediate images reconstructed without scatter correction from data partitioned into different energy windows; generating a fraction of true counts and a fraction of scatter events in the generated intermediate images; generating a final reconstructed image from the intermediate images, the fraction of true counts in the intermediate images, and the fraction of scatter counts in the intermediate images; and at least one of controlling the non-transitory computer readable medium to store the final image and control a display device (24) to display the final image.
