Abstract: For a computed tomography image data set of a recording region in which an at least substantially needle-shaped metal object is located, a method for correcting artifacts comprises: ascertaining an artifact data set describing, in an image space, at least one artifact caused by the at least substantially needle-shaped metal object, wherein the ascertaining uses prior knowledge about the at least one artifact; and subtracting the artifact data set from the computed tomography image data set. The computed tomography image data set being reconstructed from projection images, which are recorded at least partially such that the at least substantially needle-shaped metal object is irradiated at least substantially in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for processing measurement data from perfusion computed tomography, in which both perfusion parameters, in order to calculate which arterial and venous TACs are generated, and dynamic CTA images are generated from the measurement data. In at least one embodiment of the proposed method, averaging is performed over the dynamic CTA images from a plurality of temporally successive time phases in order to obtain averaged CTA images, wherein the time phases over which averaging is performed are determined from the arterial or venous TAC(s). In some cases, the method can dispense with an additional static CTA and so the amount of the injected contrast agent and the radiation dose can be reduced.

Abstract: At least one embodiment of the invention relates to a system for reconstructing image data of examination subjects from scan data. In at least one embodiment, the system includes at least a first and a second medical device for capturing scan data of examination subjects, and a computer for reconstructing image data from scan data, the computer being connected to the first and the second medical device. The computer has an input for receiving scan data from the medical devices and an output for transmitting reconstructed image data to the medical devices.
