    Abstract: An imaging system (500) includes a data acquisition system (515) configured to produce projection data and at least one memory device with reconstruction algorithms (518) and at least one blending algorithm (524). The imaging system further includes a reconstructor (516) configured to reconstruct the projection data with the reconstruction algorithms and generate at least first spectral volumetric image data corresponding to a first basis material content and second spectral volumetric image data corresponding to a second basis material content, and blend the first spectral volumetric image data and the second spectral volumetric image data with the at least one blending algorithm to produce blended volumetric image data.

    Abstract: A reconstruction apparatus (9) reconstructs a PET image. A first detector (3) generates first detection events and detection times assigned to the first detection events and a second detector (6) generates second detection events and detection times assigned to the second detection events. A timing window determination unit (11) provides a first-second timing window by providing a first-second upper threshold based on the position of the second detector relative to the first detector and a detection event pairs generation unit (12) generates first-second detection event pairs based on the provided first-second timing window. The first-second detection event pairs are used for reconstructing the PET image. The first-second timing window depends on the position of the second detector leads to an improved generation of first-second detection event pairs, which in turn can lead to an improved PET image.

    Abstract: A medical imaging system includes a data store (16) of re-construction procedures, a selector (24), a reconstructor (14), a fuser (28), and a display (22). The data store (16) of reconstruction procedures identifies a plurality of reconstruction procedures. The selector (24) selects at least two reconstruction procedures from the data store of reconstruction procedures based on a received input, each reconstruction procedure optimized for one or more image characteristics. The reconstructor (14) concurrently performs the selected at least two reconstruction procedures, each reconstruction procedure generates at least one image (26) from the at least one data store of imaging data (12). The fuser (28) fuses the at least two generated medical images to create a medical diagnostic image which includes characteristics from each generated image (26). The display (22) displays the medical diagnostic image.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for determining a fractional flow reserve (FFR) value of the coronary artery system of a living being (3). A fractional flow reserve value determination unit (13) determines the FFR value by using an FFR value determination algorithm that is adapted to determine the FFR value based on a boundary condition and a provided representation of the coronary artery system, wherein the boundary condition is specific for the living being and determined by a boundary condition determination unit (12). Since the boundary condition determination unit determines a boundary condition, which is specific for the living being, and since the fractional flow reserve value determination unit not only uses the provided representation of the coronary artery system, but also the living being specific boundary condition for determining the FFR value, the accuracy of the FFR value, which is non-invasively determined, can be improved.
