  • Patent number: 11080897
    Abstract: Methods, devices and apparatus for reconstructing a PET image are provided. According to an example of the method, a PET initial image may be reconstructed from PET data obtained by scanning on a target object with a PET device, and an MRI image may be reconstructed from MRI data obtained by scanning on the target object with a MRI device, a fusion image retaining only a boundary of the target object is generated based on the PET initial image and the MRI image, and a PET reconstructed image is obtained by combining the PET initial image with the fusion image, where the definition of the boundary of the target object in the PET reconstructed image is higher than that in the PET initial image.

  • Patent number: 10789742
    Abstract: Methods, devices and apparatus for reconstructing an image are provided. According to an example of the method, scanning data is obtained for a scanned subject, an initially-updated image is reconstructed from the scanning data, image boundary prior information is generated by performing at least two sparse transforms on the initially-updated image, and a reconstructed image is obtained by performing a weighted reconstruction with the image boundary prior information and the initially-updated image.

  • Patent number: 10535165
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for reconstructing image are provided. In one aspect, a method of reconstructing image includes obtaining scanning data for a subject in a continuous incremental scanning of medical equipment including real crystals for detection, associating each of the real crystals with one or more virtual crystals in a virtual scanning system, determining delay random coincidence data of two virtual crystals connected by a response line in the virtual scanning system, obtaining random coincidence data by denoising the delay random coincidence data based on crystal receiving efficiency for each of the real crystals, and reconstructing an image with the scanning data by taking the random coincidence data into account.

  • Patent number: 10311603
    Abstract: Method of correcting PET image attenuation and PET/MRI devices are provided. In one aspect, an MRI image of a subject is segmented to obtain respective MRI sub-images corresponding to attenuation units of the subject, respective pseudo CT sub-images corresponding to the MRI sub-images are obtained based on an MRI-CT atlas, the respective pseudo CT sub-images corresponding to the MRI sub-images are spliced to obtain a pseudo CT image corresponding to the MRI image, and attenuation correction is performed for a PET image of the subject according to the pseudo CT image, wherein the PET image and the MRI image are obtained through a same scan process for the subject.
