Abstract: The present invention relates to providing a projection data for providing a guidance image. In order to provide an enhanced guiding image technique for generating a guidance image of the patient's anatomy to be projected on the body surface of the patient, such that a at least a basis for a corrected guidance image for a better correlation to the patient's current motion can be provided, in particular to the patient's current breathing motion state, a device (10) for providing a projection data set is provided that comprises a storage means (12), an input interface (14), a processing unit (16) and an output interface (18). The storage means is configured to store a pre-determined basis data set representing a 3D tomographic image of a subject (20). The input interface is configured to receive reference data representing a current spatial depiction at least of a target region (22) of the subject. The processing unit is configured to register the reference data on the pre-determined basis data set. The processing unit is further configured to transform, based on the reference data and the result of the registration, the pre-determined basis data set resulting in a working data set representing a transformed 3D tomographic image indicating the current spatial anatomy relation at least for the target region of the subject. The processing unit is also configured to segment the working data set resulting in a projection data set representing the target region of the subject. Still further, output interface is configured to provide the projection data set for a further purpose.

Abstract: A double focal spot X-ray tube is used to acquire a set of two images PIα, PIβ for a given gantry position from slightly different view positions. The stereo or binocular disparity (BD) of imaged structures is used to estimate the object depth in view direction, which in turn is used to discriminate between objects inside IO and outside EO the body. Respective structures are virtually removed from the images PIα, PIβ.

Abstract: An interventional X-ray system (10), includes a processing unit (30), a table (20) for receiving a patient (44), an X-ray image acquisition device (12) having an X-ray source (16) and an X-ray detector (18) and at least one optical camera (46) adapted for acquiring optical images of a patient (44) situated on the table (20) and for providing image data to the processing unit (30). The processing unit (30) is adapted for segmenting an outline (64) of a patient from an existing three-dimensional model, for receiving acquired images from the at least one camera (46) for determining an optical outline (66) of the patient, for registering the optical outline (66) to the outline (64) obtained in the segmentation and for determining a translation vector (48) representing a required movement of the table for coinciding a center (42) of the anatomy of interest given in the three-dimensional model with the iso-center (38) of a rotational X-ray scan that will be performed. By this process, no X-ray exposure or injection of contrast agent is required.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a C-arm X-ray imaging system. In order to provide C-arm systems with an extended three-dimensional field of view, a C-arm X-ray imaging system (10), provided to acquire extended three-dimensional images of an object, is provided, comprising a C-arm structure (12) with an X-ray source (14) and an X-ray detector (16) mounted across from the X-ray source, a motorized drive (22) for a rotational movement of the C-arm structure, and a control unit (26). The C-arm structure is provided to perform a rotational scan around an axis of rotation and around an ISO-centre acquiring a number of X- ray projections in order to generate image data for a reconstructed three-dimensional field of view. The control unit is configured to control the motorized drive, and to cause the rotational movement of the C-arm structure to perform a first rotational X-ray scan (50) around a first ISO-centre (56) with a first axis of rotation for a first field of view, and to perform at least a second rotational X-ray scan (60) around a second ISO-centre (62) with a second axis of rotation for a second field of view. The first and the second centre of rotation are displaced in relation to each other such that a connection line between the first and the second ISO-centre is arranged transverse to the first and the second axis of rotation.

Abstract: The invention relates to off-center detector X-ray tomography reconstruction of an image of an object on the basis of projection data acquired during a rotation of an X-ray source and the off-center detector around the object in two rotational passes of less than 360°, wherein a focus point of the X-ray beam travels along largely overlapping arcs (401, 402) in the two rotational passes, the off-center detector being positioned asymmetrically with respect to a central of the X-ray beam and a direction of a detector offset being reversed between the passes. According to the invention, redundancy weighting of the projection data with respect to a redundant acquisition of projection values during each of the rotational passes is made using a redundancy weighting function determined on the basis of a union of the arcs (401, 402).

Abstract: The invention relates to off-center detector 3D X-ray or proton radiography reconstruction. Redundancy weighting with a steep weighting function around the iso-axis typically leads to artifacts in the reconstruction, for example, if inconsistencies between two nominal redundant projections occur, e.g. due to slightly incorrect detector calibration or scatter correction, etc. With the present invention, an approach is presented for overcoming or mitigating these problems.
