  • Correcting and reconstructing x-ray images using patient motion vectors extracted from marker positions in x-ray images
    Patent number: 9826942
    Abstract: A method and a system for correcting and reconstruing a plurality of projection images based on detected patient motion. The method includes obtaining a plurality of projection images generated by a scanner. Each of the plurality of projection images includes at least three markers. Each of the at least three markers has a measured three-dimensional position and measured positions on a detector panel of the scanner in a first dimension and a second dimension. The method further includes determining a position error vector for each of the plurality of projection images based on the at least three markers in each of the plurality of projection images, the position error vector defining patient motion in the projection image.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 4, 2010
    Date of Patent: November 28, 2017
    Assignee: DENTAL IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
