  • Patent number: 10671679
    Abstract: Method, system, and programs for providing content recommendation are disclosed. A first set of candidate content items may be generated based on a user profile, and a second set of candidate items may be generated based on the likelihood that the user will click a corresponding candidate content item in the second set. The candidate content items in the first and second sets may be ranked together using a learning model and presented to the user as content recommendations based on their rankings. The likelihood that the user will click a given candidate content item in the second set may be estimated based on similarities between the given content item and content items related to the given content item. Such a similarity may be computed based on activities performed by users who have viewed both the given content item and a related content item.

  • Patent number: 10499869
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided to decompose spectral computed tomography (CT) projection data into material components using singles-counts and total-counts projection data. The singles-counts projection data more accurately solves the material decomposition problem, but can produce multiple results only one of which is correct. The total-counts projection data generates a unique result, but is less precise. The total-counts projection data is used to disambiguate the multiple results of the singles-counts projection data providing a unique results that is also precise.

  • Patent number: 10271811
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided to calculate scatter using a method to determine primary X-ray flux, first-scatter flux, and multiple-scatter flux using an integral formulation of a radiative transfer equation and using spherical-harmonic expansion. The integral for the primary X-ray flux does not include a spherical-harmonic expansion. The integral for the first-scatter flux includes an angle-dependent scatter cross-section. The integral for the multiple-scatter flux is performed iteratively, includes spherical harmonics, and includes a scatter cross-section expanded using Legendre polynomials. The integrals of attenuation along propagation rays can be accelerated using material decomposition of the attenuation coefficients. An anti-scatter-grid term can be included in the integrals to account for the effects of an anti-scatter grid on the fluxes prior to detection of the X-rays.

    Abstract: A computed tomography (CT) method and apparatus including a radiation source configured to produce radiation directed to an object space, and a plurality of detector elements configured to detect the radiation produced from the radiation source through the object space and generate projection data. A rotation mount is configured to rotate the radiation source around the object space. Processing circuitry is configured to cause the rotation mount to rotate the radiation source, and to receive the projection data. The projection data includes a plurality of projection data sets. The processing circuitry calculates a set of weights based on the projection data sets, calculates a set of pre-weights based on the weights, and minimizes a penalized weighted least-squares cost function to produce a reconstructed image. The cost function is a sum of a weighted least-squares term, weighted using the weights, and a penalty term weighted using the pre-weights.

  • Patent number: 9977140
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of processing X-ray projection data including spectral computed tomography (CT) projection data. The spectral CT data is decomposed into material projection lengths using a material-decomposition method that includes an initial-estimate method to provide an initial projection-lengths estimate. The initial-estimate method can include first reconstructing an image using non-spectral CT data, and then subdividing the reconstructed image into materials according to the relative attenuation density of areas within the reconstructed image (e.g., high attenuation areas correspond to a high attenuation material such as bone). The projection length estimates of each material are then obtained by forward projecting the corresponding subdivision of the reconstructed image. Also, the initial estimate can be obtained/refined by selecting the projection lengths with smallest cost-function value from randomly chosen projection lengths within a sample space.
