  • System and method of computed tomography signal restoration via noise reduction
    Patent number: 9406107
    Abstract: An imaging system includes a computer programmed to estimate noise in computed tomography (CT) imaging data, correlate the noise estimation with neighboring CT imaging data to generate a weighting estimation based on the correlation, de-noise the CT imaging data based on the noise estimation and on the weighting, and reconstruct an image using the de-noised CT imaging data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 18, 2013
    Date of Patent: August 2, 2016
    Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY
    Inventors: Jiahua Fan, Meghan L. Yue, Jiang Hsieh, Roman Melnyk, Masatake Nukui, Yujiro Yazaki
