  • Publication number: 20240144556
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide a computed tomography imaging method and apparatus. The method includes pre-scanning an examined site by using an incomplete detector at a pitch factor of greater than 3 to obtain first data, axially scanning the examined site using the incomplete detector to obtain second data, stitching the first data and the second data to obtain third data; compensating the third data to obtain compensated third data, and performing image reconstruction by using the compensated third data to obtain a scanned image. Therefore, by performing two scans using an incomplete detector, stitching and compensating data obtained by the two scans, while reducing the total dose of X-rays, the integrity of the obtained data is ensured, and the image quality of the final obtained scanned image is maintained.

  • Publication number: 20230077083
    Abstract: Described herein are an imaging system and method. Specifically, the imaging system includes a positioning image acquisition unit configured to acquire positioning images of a scanned object from a plurality of angles, a contour estimation unit configured to estimate a contour of the object in each positioning image in a scanning direction when truncation is present in at least one positioning image, and a display field of view determination unit configured to select a maximum value of an estimated contour as a display field of view of the image. A contour of a scanned object in each positioning image in a scanning direction is estimated when truncation is present in at least one positioning image, thereby determining a suitable display field of view. An appropriate display field of view can be set, so that a reconstructed image can cover the entire contour of the object and have a higher resolution.

  • Publication number: 20220383491
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide a tissue boundary determination apparatus and method. The tissue boundary determination method includes acquiring multiple slice images of multiple positions of a tissue to be examined, determining, with regard to at least one first selected slice image of the multiple slice images, a tissue boundary on the first selected slice image, and determining, according to the tissue boundary on the first selected slice image, tissue boundaries on a predetermined number of other slice images adjacent to the first selected slice image. Therefore, an accurate tissue (such as malignant tumor) boundary may be acquired efficiently so as to provide a reference basis for analysis on internal and external tissue of a tumor.

  • Publication number: 20220319030
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for configuring scan parameters for an imaging system are described. The method for configuring scan parameters includes acquiring an RGB image and a depth image of a scan object, computing physical parameters of the scan object according to the RGB image and the depth image of the scan object, and configuring, according to the physical parameters, scan parameters for scanning the scan object. In this way, the scan parameters for scanning the scan object can be automatically configured, which improves the efficiency and standardization of a scan process. Moreover, an appropriate configuration of scan parameters can further avoid rescanning and poor-quality scout images resulting from manual errors. An example apparatus that may be used to perform the method includes an acquisition unit for acquiring the RGB image, a first computation unit for computing the physical parameters, and a configuration unit for configuring the scan parameters.
