Method For Enhancing The Accuracy Of Pet/Ct Images

View page
US Patent:
7869860, Jan 11, 2011
Filed:
Nov 10, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/595389
Inventors:
Paul E Kinahan - Seattle WA, US
Adam M Alessio - Seattle WA, US
Thomas K Lewellen - Port Ludlow WA, US
Hubert J Vesselle - Mercer Island WA, US
Assignee:
University of Washington - Seattle WA
International Classification:
A61B 5/05
G01N 23/04
US Classification:
600425, 378 62
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for obtaining linear attenuation coefficients for interpreting a PET scan of a region. The method is suitable for use when high molecular weight materials are present in the region, such as contrast agents or metal objects. The method includes obtaining first and second x-ray CT data sets of the region of interest at two different energies or voltage potentials and differencing corresponding CT numbers. The difference values are used to distinguish portions of the region that are bone from portions of the region that are contrast agent or other high molecular weight material. The obtained CT data set is then used to obtain an attenuation coefficient map of the region at the PET energy of 511 keV, for example, using a linear scaling factor suited to the particular identified material. Difference values at or near zero may be used to identify soft tissue portions of the region.

Methods And Systems For Attenuation Correction In Medical Imaging

View page
US Patent:
20080273780, Nov 6, 2008
Filed:
Mar 22, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/726416
Inventors:
Steven Gerald Kohlmyer - Lynnwood WA, US
Adam Michael Alessio - Seattle WA, US
Paul Eugene Kinahan - Seattle WA, US
Dennis Patrick Hurley - Waukesha WI, US
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382131
Abstract:
Methods and systems for imaging a patient are provided. The method includes scanning a patient and acquiring a plurality of frames of cine computed tomography (CT) images during one complete respiratory cycle. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes selecting a value for each pixel that represents the maximum density measurement for the pixel throughout the cine acquisition. In one embodiment, an attenuation correction image of a volume of interest is constructed by weighting a combination of the maximum pixel intensity value and an average pixel intensity value. Undesirable motion artifacts can be removed from positron emission tomography (PET) images by utilizing the CT attenuation correction image.

Method And Apparatus For Reducing Motion-Related Imaging Artifacts

US Patent:
20110116695, May 19, 2011
Filed:
Nov 19, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/622006
Inventors:
Scott David Wollenweber - Waukesha WI, US
Alexander Ganin - Whitefish Bay WI, US
Kris Filip Johan Jules Thielemans - Putney, GB
Larry Pierce - Seattle WA, US
Adam Alessio - Seattle WA, US
Paul Kinahan - Seattle WA, US
Chi Liu - Seattle WA, US
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
G06K 9/40
US Classification:
382131, 382275
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for reducing motion related imaging artifacts. The method includes obtaining an image data set of a region of interest in an object, obtaining a motion signal indicative of motion of the region of interest, determining at least one quiescent period of at least a portion of the motion signal, extracting image data from the image data set that is within the determined quiescent period to form an image data subset, and generating an image of the region of interest using the image data subset.

Respiratory Motion Correction With Internal-External Motion Correlation, And Associated Systems And Methods

View page
US Patent:
20130303898, Nov 14, 2013
Filed:
May 9, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/891083
Inventors:
Paul E. Kinahan - Seattle WA, US
Adam Alessio - Seattle WA, US
Chi Liu - Orange CT, US
International Classification:
A61B 6/00
A61B 6/03
US Classification:
600425, 600407
Abstract:
The present technology relates generally to respiratory motion correction and associated systems and methods. In particular, several embodiments are directed to respiratory motion correction using internal-external motion correlation. For example, one embodiment of a method of correcting motion blurring in PET/CT imaging includes obtaining PET/CT imaging data of a target tissue in a patient and determining a centroid of the target tissue. The method can further include obtaining an external motion signal of the patient and determining a mean displacement of the external motion signal. The centroid of the target tissue can be correlated with the mean displacement and, based on the correlation, a PET/CT image corrected for motion of the target tissue can be reconstructed.
