  • Publication number: 20240144556
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide a computed tomography imaging method and apparatus. The method includes pre-scanning an examined site by using an incomplete detector at a pitch factor of greater than 3 to obtain first data, axially scanning the examined site using the incomplete detector to obtain second data, stitching the first data and the second data to obtain third data; compensating the third data to obtain compensated third data, and performing image reconstruction by using the compensated third data to obtain a scanned image. Therefore, by performing two scans using an incomplete detector, stitching and compensating data obtained by the two scans, while reducing the total dose of X-rays, the integrity of the obtained data is ensured, and the image quality of the final obtained scanned image is maintained.

  • Publication number: 20240058574
    Abstract: A medical catheter and a method for fabricating it are disclosed. The medical catheter includes a catheter body including a proximal section and a distal section sequentially arranged along an axis. Stiffness of the proximal section is greater than stiffness of the distal section. The distal section includes a transition section and a flexible section from a proximal end to a distal end thereof. Stiffness of the flexible section is smaller than stiffness of the transition section. The stiffness of the transition section gradually decreases from a proximal end to a distal end thereof. A ratio of an axial length of the flexible section to an axial length of the transition section is 0.05-0.4. This axial stiffness design of the medical catheter can achieve a balance between its accessibility and support performance, which can result in better therapeutic outcomes of a surgical procedure.
