  • Publication number: 20250200838
    Abstract: A reconstructing method and a reconstructing apparatus of a medical image, a computer device, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: acquiring a signal data set obtained by performing signal detection on a detected object via a detector array, determining an effective detecting range of each detector in the detector array when a detecting scenario is a target scenario, and extracting target signal data of each detector within a respective effective detecting range from the signal data set, and reconstructing a medical detecting image of the detected object based on the target signal data. The detector array is configured to siege the detected object in three dimensions and detect a trace signal emitted by the detected object to obtain the signal data set.

  • Patent number: 12042324
    Abstract: The present disclosure may provide a method. The method may include obtaining a PET dataset relating to a subject acquired, based on a tracer species in the subject, by a PET device. The PET dataset relating to the subject may be acquired for a time period when the subject moves by moving a couch on which the subject is supported. The time period may include a first time segment and a second time segment. The method may also include determining an activity distribution set of the tracer species in the subject within the time period. The activity distribution set may include a plurality of segment activity distributions. Further, the method may include determining an offset of the couch within the second time segment with respect to the first time segment based on the activity distribution set of the tracer species.
