  • Publication number: 20240088187
    Abstract: Trenches in which to form a back side isolation structure for an array of CMOS image sensors are formed by a cyclic process that allows the trenches to be kept narrow. Each cycle of the process includes etching to add a depth segment to the trenches and coating the depth segment with an etch-resistant coating. The following etch step will break through the etch-resistant coating at the bottom of the trench but the etch-resistant coating will remain in the upper part of the trench to limit lateral etching and substrate damage. The resulting trenches have a series of vertically spaced nodes. The process may result in a 10% increase in photodiode area and a 30-40% increase in full well capacity.

  • Publication number: 20220414832
    Abstract: A general workflow for deep learning based image restoration in X-ray and fluoroscopy/fluorography is disclosed. Higher quality images and lower quality images are generated as training data. This training data can further be categorized by anatomical structure. This training data can be used to train a learned model, such as a neural network or deep-learning neural network. Once trained, the learned model can be used for real-time inferencing. The inferencing can be more further improved by employing a variety of techniques, including pruning the learned model, reducing the precision of the learned mode, utilizing multiple image restoration processors, or dividing a full size image into snippets.

  • Patent number: 10789738
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for computed tomography (CT) imaging to reduce artifacts due to objects outside the field of view (FOV) of a reconstructed image. The artifacts are suppressed by using an iterative reconstruction method to minimize a cost function that includes a de-emphasis operator. The de-emphasis operator operates in the data domain, and minimizes the contributions of data inconsistencies arising from attenuation due to objects outside the FOV. This can be achieved by penalizing images that manifest indicia of artifacts due to outside objects especially those outside objects have high-attenuation densities and minimizing components of the data inconsistency likely attributable to the outside object.

  • Patent number: 10517543
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided to generate a multiresolution image having at least two regions with different pixel pitches. The multiresolution image is reconstructed using projection data having various pixel pitches corresponding to the pixel pitches of the multiresolution image. By using a higher resolution inside regions of interest (ROIs) in both the image and projection domains and lower resolution outside the ROIs, fast image reconstruction can be performed while avoiding truncation artifacts, which result imaging is limited to an ROI excluding attenuation regions. Further, those regions of greater clinical relevance and greater structural variance within the reconstructed images can be selected to be within the ROIs to improve the clinical benefit of the multiresolution image. The multiresolution image can be reconstructed using an iterative reconstruction method in which the high- and low-resolution regions are uniquely evaluated.
