  • Patent number: 8963919
    Abstract: A method for generating time-resolved 3D medical images of a subject by imparting temporal information from a time-series of 2D medical images into 3D images of the subject. Generally speaking, this is achieved by acquiring image data using a medical imaging system, generating a time-series of 2D images of a ROI from at least a portion of the acquired image data, reconstructing a 3D image substantially without temporal resolution from the acquired image data, and selectively combining the time series of 2D images with the 3D image. Selective combination typically involves registering frames of the time-series of 2D images with the 3D image, projecting pixel values from the 2D image frames “into” the 3D image, and weighting the 3D image with the projected pixel values for each frame of the time-series of 2D images.

  • Patent number: 8755584
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for producing a computed tomographic image of a subject, the method including: using a radiation source and detector, obtaining radiation transmission information relating to a region of interest in the subject; using the source and detector; obtaining a series of projection images of the region of interest. Each projection image is obtained by: directing an imaging beam of radiation from the source through the region of interest onto the detector along a respective direction; the detector having a detection area.
