System And Method For Tomographic Data Acquisition And Image Reconstruction

US Patent:
2011014, Jun 16, 2011
Filed:
May 6, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/775308
Inventors:
Jiang Hsieh - Brookfield WI, US
Brian Edward Nett - Madison WI, US
Debashish Pal - Waukesha WI, US
Basel Hasan Taha - Madison WI, US
Jean-Baptiste Thibault - Milwaukee WI, US
Zhou Yu - Waukesha WI, US
International Classification:
G06K 9/62
US Classification:
382131
Abstract:
A tomographic system includes a gantry having an opening for receiving an object to be scanned, a radiation source, a detector positioned to receive radiation from the source that passes through the object, and a computer. The computer is programmed to acquire a plurality of projection datasets of the object, define a temporal subset of projection datasets from the plurality of projection datasets, reconstruct a working image of the object using the plurality of projection datasets, identify a region of motion in the working image, and minimize motion artifacts in the region of motion in the working image using the temporal subset of projection datasets.

Method For Radiation Dose Reduction Using Prior Image Constrained Image Reconstruction

US Patent:
2011028, Nov 24, 2011
Filed:
May 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/783058
Inventors:
Jie Tang - Madison WI, US
Brian Nett - Madison WI, US
International Classification:
G06K 9/62
US Classification:
382131
Abstract:
A method for reconstructing an image of a subject with a medical imaging system is provided. Image data is acquired with the medical imaging system, typically in an undersampled manner. A prior image constrained compressed sensing (PICCS) image reconstruction method is then implemented to reconstruct images of the subject being imaged. The prior image used in such a method is produced from so-called averaged image data. The averaged image data is produced by effectively averaging signal information associated with a plurality of different slice locations along a direction orthogonal to the plane parallel to the slice locations. Weightings are calculated from images reconstructed in a conventional manner from the acquired image data, and these weightings are employed to produce the averaged image data. By producing a prior image in this manner, a higher signal-to-noise ratio is achievable, allowing trade-offs with factors such as radiation dose in x-ray imaging.

Method And Apparatus For Performing Motion Artifact Reduction

US Patent:
2013005, Feb 28, 2013
Filed:
Aug 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/220166
Inventors:
BRIAN EDWARD NETT - MADISON WI, US
Assignee:
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - SCHENECTADY NY
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382131
Abstract:
A method for reconstructing an image of an object having reduced motion artifacts includes reconstructing a set of initial images using acquired data, performing a thresholding operation on the set of initial images to generate a set of contrast images that identify areas of contrast from which motion artifacts originate, transforming the thresholded images into a conjugate domain, combining the conjugate domain representations of the contrast images, transforming the combined conjugate domain representations to an image domain to generate a residual image, and using the residual image to generate a final image of the object.

Method And Apparatus For Iterative Reconstruction

US Patent:
2013010, May 2, 2013
Filed:
Nov 2, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/287589
Inventors:
Zhou Yu - Waukesha WI, US
Evgeny Drapkin - Waukesha WI, US
Bruno Kristiaan Bernard De Man - Waukesha WI, US
Jean-Baptiste Thibault - Waukesha WI, US
Kai Zeng - Waukesha WI, US

Brian Edward Nett - Waukesha WI, US
Debashish Pal - Waukesha WI, US
Lin Fu - Waukesha WI, US
Guangzhi Cao - Waukesha WI, US
Ken David Sauer - South Bend IN, US
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382131
Abstract:
A method for reconstructing an image of an object that includes a plurality of image elements. The method includes accessing image data associated with a plurality of image elements, and reconstructing an image of the object by optimizing an objective function, where the objective function is optimized by iteratively solving a nested sequence of approximate optimization problems. The algorithm is composed of nested iterative loops, in which an inner loop iteratively optimizes an objective function approximating the outer loop objective function, and an outer loop that utilizes the solution of the inner loop to optimize the original objective function.

Multi-Phase Computed Tomography Image Reconstruction

US Patent:
2014001, Jan 16, 2014
Filed:
Jul 13, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/549138
Inventors:
Brian Edward Nett - Madison WI, US
Jed Douglas Pack - Glenville NY, US
Kai Zeng - Rexford NY, US
Assignee:
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382131
Abstract:
Approaches for reconstructing multi-phase images are disclosed. In certain embodiments, calibrated X-ray projection data acquired over at least a partial axial or low-pitch helical rotation is accessed and used to reconstruct one or more initial images. A frequency transform is performed on the images to generate respective frequency domain representations. Elements of the frequency domain representations are weighted based on at least the difference between the phase associated with the elements and a specified phase of interest. The weighted frequency domain representations are combined to generate a frequency domain representation at the phase of interest, which can be used to generate an image at the phase of interest.
