  • Patent number: 11191511
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus and associated methods are provided to efficiently estimate scatter during multi-fraction treatments for improved quality and workflow. Estimated scatter from one fraction during a treatment course can be utilized during subsequent fractions, allowing for measurements with higher scatter-to-primary ratios. The quality of scatter estimates can be maintained, while workflow improves and dosage decreases. Scan configuration limits can be utilized to maintain a minimum level of scatter measurement quality. Patient information can be monitored to ensure that prior fraction scatter estimates are still applicable to current patient status.

  • Patent number: 10825210
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for computed tomography (CT) imaging to reduce truncation artifacts due to a part of an imaged object being outside the scanner field of view (FOV) for at least some views of a CT scan. After initial determining extrapolation widths to extend the projection data to fill a truncation region, the extrapolation widths are combined into a padding map and smoothed to improve uniformity and remove jagged edges. Then a hybrid material model fits the measured projection data nearest the truncation region to extrapolate projection data filling the truncation region. Smoothing the padding map is improved by the insight that in general smaller extrapolation widths are more accurate and trustworthy. Further, practical applications often include multiple inhomogeneous materials. Thus, the hybrid material model provides a better approximation than single material models, and more accurate fitting is achieved.

  • Patent number: 10755395
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of denoising a dynamic image is provided. The dynamic image can represent a time-series of snapshot images. The dynamic image is transformed, using a sparsifying transformation, into an aggregate image and a series of transform-domain images. The transform-domain images represent kinetic information of the dynamic images (i.e., differences between the snapshots), and the aggregate image represents static information (i.e., features and structure common among the snapshots). The transform-domain images, which can be approximated using a sparse approximation method, are denoised. The denoised transform-domain images are recombined with the aggregate image using an inverse sparsifying transformation to generate a denoised dynamic image. The transform-domain images can be denoised using at least one of a principal component analysis method and a K-SVD method.
