  • Methods and apparatus for CT calibration
    Patent number: 7379527
    Abstract: A method for normalizing a calibration of a computed tomographic (CT) imaging apparatus having a plurality of detector rows includes utilizing a prestored, predetermined inversion matrix and CT numbers obtained from images of a phantom to determine normalized calibration vectors for each row of a plurality of detector rows, and storing the determined normalized calibration vectors for each row of the plurality of detector rows in a memory for use in subsequent image reconstructions.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATION
    Publication number: 20080040460
    Abstract: A method of communicating in a communication system and the communication system are provided. The communication system comprises at least one imaging station with multiple network interfaces. Each network interface of the imaging station is identified with a network address. The method comprises steps of selecting a first network interface available for communication in an imaging station and configuring the imaging station to communicate via the first network interface. The method further comprises a step of communicating at least one imaging data from the imaging station via the first network interface.

  • Methods and apparatus for reconstructing an image of an object
    Patent number: 6775347
    Abstract: A method for reconstructing an image of an object includes generating a plurality of projection data, helically interpolating the projection data, rebinning the helically interpolated projection data from a fan-beam format to a parallel-beam format, and reconstructing an image of the object using the parallel-beam format projection data.
