    摘要: The present disclosure is related to methods and systems for imaging. The method may include obtaining current information of a target subject. The current information may include information relating to current radiation attenuation of the target object. The method may also include obtaining reference information of the target subject. The reference information may include information relating to historical radiation attenuation of the target object. The method may also include determining at least one current parameter of the target subject based on the current information and the reference information. The method may also include obtaining a target image of the target subject based on the at least one current parameter.

    摘要: A pre-patient collimator for a CT imaging system is provided. The pre-patient collimator includes a collimator housing including a plurality of walls, wherein the plurality of walls includes a first wall configured to face an X-ray source when the pre-patient collimator is coupled to the CT imaging system and a second wall and a third wall flanking the first wall. The pre-patient collimator also includes a bowtie filter assembly disposed within the collimator housing and including a bowtie filter. The pre-patient collimator further includes an adjustment mechanism configured to move the bowtie filter assembly in a lateral direction between the second wall and the third wall within the collimator housing.

    摘要: There is provided a PCCT apparatus capable of correcting a band artifact of one material decomposition image and a band artifact of another material decomposition image. The PCCT apparatus obtains projection data divided into plural energy bins by irradiating a subject with X-rays, and includes: a first correction unit that corrects a band artifact of a first material decomposition image among plural material decomposition images created on the basis of the projection data, and calculates a first correction amount that is a correction amount for the band artifact; an energy calculation unit that calculates an average energy of X-rays that transmit the subject; and a second correction unit that corrects the band artifact of a second material decomposition image using a second correction amount that is a correction amount calculated on the basis of the first correction amount and the average energy.

    摘要: A C-arm x-ray imaging device includes a radiation source, a detector, a control mechanism and a computing device to control an imaging procedure performed by the imaging system. The computing device includes a processor and an interconnected database containing machine-readable instructions for the operation of the processor and for processing the image data from the detector to create one or more 2D images of a subject and to reconstruct a 3D volume from the one or more 2D images. The processor is configured to determine the distribution of radiation attenuation values across at least one portion of the 3D volume, to determine a window preset for different material types represented in the distribution of radiation attenuation values, where the window presets are presented along with the 2D/3D images on the device display to allow quick switching between images optimizing viewing of different types of materials within the images.

    摘要: An imaging system includes a first portion and a second portion that translates and/or rotates with respect to the first portion. A first locking mechanism may prevent the second portion from translating with respect to the first portion, such as during transport of the system. A second locking mechanism may prevent the second portion from rotating with respect to the first portion, such as during transport and/or during an imaging scan. Further embodiments include a cable management system between the first and second portions, a spherically-shaped surface of a support gimbal and a user interface device for an imaging system.
