  • System and method for computed tomographic imaging
    Patent number: 11335038
    Abstract: The present disclosure directs to a system and method for CT imaging. The method may include acquiring computed tomography (CT) data, wherein the CT data is generated by scanning a subject using a CT scanner, the CT scanner including a focal spot and a detector, and the detector including a plurality of detector units. The method may also include obtaining a forward projection model and a back projection model, wherein the forward projection model and the back projection model are associated with sizes of the detector units and a size of the focal spot of the CT scanner. The method may further include reconstructing a CT image of the subject iteratively based on the CT data, the forward projection model, and the back projection model.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 4, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 17, 2022
    Assignee: UIH AMERICA, INC.
    Inventors: Stanislav Zabic, Patrick Joseph Kling
  • Systems and methods for medical imaging
    Patent number: 11234323
    Abstract: Systems and methods for medical imaging. The method may include acquiring a tube voltage switching waveform for a radiation source of a medical device. The method may include determining a tube current switching period based on the tube voltage switching waveform. The method may include determining a sampling period correlated with the tube current switching period. The method may include acquiring projection data according to the sampling period. The method may further include reconstructing an image based on the acquired projection data.
