  • Patent number: 11877873
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining at least one scanning parameter for a scanning by an imaging device (110) are provided. The methods may include obtaining a scout image of at least one portion of a subject (502), and determining, in the scout image, a region of interest (ROI) corresponding to the at least one portion of the subject (504). The methods may further include determining, based on the ROI, the at least one scanning parameter associated with the at least one portion of the subject for performing the scanning by the imaging device (506). Systems and methods for evaluating a scanning parameter are further provided. The methods may include determining a scanning parameter associated with the ROI (1606) and obtaining a reference scanning parameter associated with the ROI (1608). The methods may further include determining whether the scanning parameter needs to be adjusted by comparing the scanning parameter and the reference scanning parameter (1610).

  • Publication number: 20240013391
    Abstract: An image processing method is provided, including: obtaining image data of a cavity wall of an organ; unfolding the cavity wall; and generating an image of the unfolded cavity wall. The unfolding of the cavity wall may include: obtaining a mask and a centerline of the organ; obtaining a connected region of the mask; dividing the connected region into at least one equidistant block; determining an orientation of the equidistant block in a three-dimensional coordinate system including a first direction, a second direction and a third direction; determining an initial normal vector and an initial tangent vector of a center point of the centerline; assigning a projection of the initial normal vector to a normal vector of a light direction of the center point; assigning the third direction or an reverse direction of the third direction to a tangent vector of the light direction of the center point.
