Patent number: 11798705Abstract: A system and method for making an anti-scatter grid device is provided. The method may include providing a mold including one or more orientation structures arranged in first positions. The method may also include placing a plurality of plates including a first material into at least one of the orientation structures, and injecting a second material into a first cavity in the mold formed by the plurality of plates and the orientation structures. The method may further include separating the plurality of plates and the hardened second material from the mold to generate a first module.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: SHANGHAI UNITED IMAGING HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Ronald Sharpless, Patrick Kling

Patent number: 11481935Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for iterative reconstruction. Raw data detected from a plurality of angles by an imaging device may be obtained. A first seed image may be generated by performing a filtered back projection on the raw data. A first air mask may be determined by performing a minimum value back projection (BP) on the raw data. One or more images may be reconstructed by performing an iterative reconstruction based on the first seed image, the first air mask, and the raw data.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2021Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: SHANGHAI UNITED IMAGING HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Stanislav Zabic, Patrick Kling, Wenjing Cao, Alexander Zamyatin, Zhicong Yu, Haohua Sun

Patent number: 11475611Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for generating an image. At least one processor, when executing instructions, may perform one or more of the following operations. When raw data relating to an object is retrieved, an image may be generated based thereon. A first voxel of the image is identified based a first geometric parameter relating to the first voxel; a second voxel of the image is identified based on a second geometric parameter relating to the second voxel; the image is reconstructed using an iterative reconstruction process, during which the calculation relating to the first voxel is based on the first number of sub-voxels, and the calculation relating to the second voxel is based on the second voxel.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2019Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: SHANGHAI UNITED IMAGING HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Lu Wang, Patrick Kling
