US Patent:
6904117, Jun 7, 2005
Filed:
Oct 30, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/283080

Ilmar Arthur Hein - Schaumburg IL, US
Katsuyuki Taguchi - Buffalo Grove IL, US
Assignee:
Toshiba Corporation - Tokyo
International Classification:
A61B006/00
US Classification:
378 4, 378 15, 378901
Abstract:
An X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes a helical scanning device configured to collect projection data while at least one of a gantry and a couch moves along a body axial direction of an object on the couch when at least one of the gantry and the couch is tilted, the helical scanning device including an X-ray source configured to generate X-rays, and a detector disposed opposite the X-ray source and having detector elements arranged in a plurality of rows along the body axial direction, and a reconstructing device configured to reconstruct an image based on the projection data using cone-beam Feldkamp reconstruction.

Cone Beam Type Of X-Ray Ct System For Three-Dimensional Reconstruction

View page
US Patent:
6907100, Jun 14, 2005
Filed:
Oct 24, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/278872
Inventors:
Katsuyuki Taguchi - Buffalo Grove IL, US
Assignee:
Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba - Tokyo
International Classification:
A61B006/03
US Classification:
378 4, 378 19, 378901
Abstract:
An X-ray CT system is equipped with a gantry, couch and control cabinet and configured to scan a cone-beam X-ray toward an object along a given orbit to acquire cone-beam data in which a three-dimensional distribution of an X-ray absorption coefficient within the object is reflected. The control cabinet decides a degree of reliability for the cone-beam data according to an acquisition time of the cone-beam data, and then decides a weight for three-dimensional Radon data from the cone-beam data on the basis of the degree of reliability. Using this weight, the control cabinet reconstructs the three-dimensional Radon data based on a three-dimensional reconstruction algorithm. Thus, when the three-dimensional reconstruction algorithm for cone-beam CT is applied to medical CT, artifacts attributable to object's motion can be suppressed and temporal resolution can be improved.

US Classification:
378 8, 378 15, 378901
Abstract:
A method for obtaining data from CT scans, including obtaining projection data from at least one detector row in a CT system; applying a weighting function including cone-angle dependent weight to projection data; filtering weighted data; and backprojecting weighted data while accounting for cone-angle. The method finds application to an X-ray CT apparatus, including a helical scanning device configured to collect projection data while at least one of a gantry and a couch moves along an axial direction, the helical scanning device including an X-ray source to generate X-rays, and a detector having detector elements arranged in rows along the axial direction to produce projection data; and a processor, which includes a weighting device to apply a weighting function including cone-angle dependent weight to projection data, thereby obtaining weighted data, a filtering device to filter weighted data, and a backprojecting device to backproject weighted data while accounting for cone-angle.

Method For Restoring Truncated Helical Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Data

View page
US Patent:
7359478, Apr 15, 2008
Filed:
Nov 18, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/990464
Inventors:
Aleksandr A. Zamyatin - Buffalo Grove IL, US
Katsuyuki Taguchi - Buffalo Grove IL, US
Michael D. Silver - Northbrook IL, US
Assignee:
Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation - Otawara-shi
Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba - Tokyo
International Classification:
A61B 6/03
US Classification:
378 15, 378 4, 378 19, 378901
Abstract:
A method, system, and computer program product for compensating for the unavailability of projection data of a scanned object at a selected point, the selected point located outside a detection range of a detector. The method include the steps of obtaining projection data of the scanned object, and compensating for the unavailability of the projection data at the selected point based on the obtained projection data and coordinates of the selected point relative to the detector. The compensating step includes determining at least one complementary projection angle and coordinates of at least one complementary point based on a source projection angle and the coordinates of the selected point relative to the detector, and estimating the projection data value at the selected point based on the acquired projection data, the at least one complementary projection angle, and the coordinates of the at least one complementary point.
