Stationary X-Ray Source Array For Digital Tomosynthesis

View page
US Patent:
20220409146, Dec 29, 2022
Filed:
Jun 22, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/846057
Inventors:
- Rochester NY, US
David H. FOOS - Webster NY, US
Levon O. VOGELSANG - Webster NY, US
International Classification:
A61B 6/02
A61B 6/00
G06T 7/00
Abstract:
A plurality of radiographic images are captured of a portion of a patient in periodic motion, such as cardiac images (heartbeat motion) or lungs (breathing motion). A first subset of the captured radiographic images are identified as having a common first capture time relative to a phase of the periodic motion. A first 3D image is reconstructed using the first subset of captured radiographic images. Additional subsets of the radiographic images are processed similarly based on their common capture time relative to the phase of the periodic motion.

Self-Calibrating Technique For X-Ray Imaging Scanners

US Patent:
20210113176, Apr 22, 2021
Filed:
Dec 9, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/115869
Inventors:
- Rochester NY, US
Yuan LIN - Cupertino CA, US
Levon O. VOGELSANG - Webster NY, US
International Classification:
A61B 6/00
A61B 90/00
A61B 6/02
A61B 6/03
A61B 6/06
A61B 6/08
Abstract:
A mobile radiography apparatus includes radiopaque markers disposed in a radiation path that extends from an x-ray source to a digital radiographic detector, which detector is mechanically uncoupled from the x-ray source or x-ray sources. A processing system calculates a position of the detector relative to the x-ray source or x-ray sources according to identified marker positions in acquired x-ray projection images, and reconstructs a volume image according to the acquired x-ray projection images.

Fiducial Marker For Geometric Calibration Of Bed-Side Mobile Tomosynthesis System

View page
US Patent:
20200000426, Jan 2, 2020
Filed:
Jun 29, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/022864
Inventors:
- Rochester NY, US
Levon O. VOGELSANG - Webster NY, US
Lawrence A. RAY - Rochester NY, US
International Classification:
A61B 6/00
A61B 6/02
A61B 6/03
Abstract:
A method for geometric calibration of a radiography apparatus disposes at least one radio-opaque marker in the field of view of the radiography apparatus. A series of tomosynthesis projection images of patient anatomy is acquired from the detector with the x-ray source at different positions along a scan path. For at least three projection images showing the position of the radio-opaque marker, the spatial and angular geometry of the x-ray source and detector are calculated according to the positions of the marker. A tomosynthesis image is reconstructed according to the calculated geometry. A rendering of the reconstructed image is displayed.

Imaging System And Method For Dual-Energy And Computed Tomography

US Patent:
20190038238, Feb 7, 2019
Filed:
Aug 7, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/670292
Inventors:
- Rochester NY, US
Richard A. Simon - Rochester NY, US
Levon O. Vogelsang - Webster NY, US
International Classification:
A61B 6/03
A61B 6/00
Abstract:
An imaging method, accesses a set of low-energy projection images and performs a low-energy reconstruction using the low-energy projection images. A synthesized intermediate low-energy projection image is generated. A high-energy reconstruction is performed using a set of high-energy projection images. A synthesized intermediate high-energy projection image is generated. A dual-energy reconstruction is performed using at least one low-energy projection image, the synthesized intermediate low-energy projection image, at least one high-energy projection image, and the synthesized intermediate high-energy projection image.

Tomographic Image Acquisition Using Asymmetrical Pixel Binning

US Patent:
20180350112, Dec 6, 2018
Filed:
Dec 20, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/780400
Inventors:
- Rochester NY, US
Richard A. SIMON - Rochester NY, US
Levon O. VOGELSANG - Webster NY, US
Nathan J. PACKARD - Provo UT, US
International Classification:
G06T 11/00
A61B 6/00
A61B 6/02
A61B 6/03
Abstract:
A computer implemented method for reconstructing a -D volume image using a radiographic imaging system having one or more x-ray sources and a digital detector. A plurality of radiographic images of a subject at various angles are captured in the digital detector. Image data in two or more pixels of the detector that are adjacent to each other in a row direction or a column direction are combined, while pixels adjacent in the other direction are not combined.

Volume Image Reconstruction Using Projection Decomposition

View page
US Patent:
20180286087, Oct 4, 2018
Filed:
Mar 29, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/472613
Inventors:
- Rochester NY, US
Richard A. Simon - Rochester NY, US
Levon O. Vogelsang - Webster NY, US
International Classification:
G06T 11/00
G06T 5/00
Abstract:
A method for forming an image reconstructs a volume image according to X-ray projection images acquired at acquisition angles. The full volume image is partitioned to form at least a first and a second non-overlapping sub-volume. Within each sub-volume, forward projection images for the sub-volume are calculated, with the corresponding forward projection images computed at the acquisition angles, and with intermediate forward projection images at angles between the acquisition angles. A weight factor relates the contribution of each pixel in the X-ray projection images to each sub-volume at each acquisition angle. Synthesized sub-volume projection images are formed according to the calculated weight factors and acquired projection images in each sub-volume. Synthesized sub-volume projection images form synthesized projection images for the full volume image. A second volume image is reconstructed according to the acquired X-ray projection images and the synthesized projection images. The reconstructed second volume image is displayed, stored, or transmitted.

Virtual Projection Image Method

US Patent:
20170365076, Dec 21, 2017
Filed:
Jun 21, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/187834
Inventors:
- Rochester NY, US
Richard A. Simon - Rochester NY, US
Levon O. Vogelsang - Webster NY, US
International Classification:
G06T 11/00
G06T 5/00
Abstract:
A method of generating a synthesized digital projection image, executed at least in part by a computer, acquires x-ray projection images at corresponding acquisition angles, and reconstructs a first volume image. Forward projection generates a preceding forward projection image at a first acquisition angle; a following forward projection image at an adjacent second acquisition angle; and an intermediate forward projection image for an intermediate angle. A synthesized projection image is formed by identifying a candidate patch of pixels from the intermediate forward projection image, matching a first patch of pixels from the preceding forward projection image and identifying a corresponding first acquired patch of pixels from the first acquired x-ray projection image, matching a second patch of pixels from the following forward projection image and matching a second acquired patch of pixels from the forward projection image. The first and second acquired patches are combined.

Abstract:
An imaging method, accesses cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data and displays, on a display monitor, at least one view of the CBCT data.
