Knowledge-based dynamic volumetric cardiac computed tomography with saddle curve trajectory.
Motion artifact is still a major issue in cardiac computed tomography because the current motion correction and electrocardiogram gating techniques have not fully addressed this problem. The image quality can be significantly improved by using information about the actual state of the heart and an exact reconstruction algorithm. We propose to extend a cardiac computed tomographic technique, usi...
متن کاملVolumetric accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography
PURPOSE This study was performed to investigate the influence of object shape and distance from the center of the image on the volumetric accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, according to different parameters of tube voltage and current. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four geometric objects (cylinder, cube, pyramid, and hexagon) with predefined dimensions were fabricated. The object...
متن کاملComputed Tomography in the Diagnosis of Lesions in and Around the Saddle Area
Computed tomography is the method of choice for initial evaluation of pa tints with potential suprasellar masses. In our experience during the last 2 years C.T. has proved reliable for detecting or rulling out the presence of a suprasellar mass. It shows the direction and degree of parasellar extension and the presence of any calcific or cystic component of the lesion. When C.T. was negat...
متن کاملControlled Cardiac Computed Tomography
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) has been a hot topic for years because of the clinical importance of cardiac diseases and the rapid evolution of CT systems. In this paper, we propose a novel strategy for controlled cardiac CT that may effectively reduce image artifacts due to cardiac and respiratory motions. Our approach is radically different from existing ones and is based on controlling the...
متن کاملReconstruction with most likely trajectory for proton computed tomography
Advantages of proton computed tomography (pCT) have been recognized in the past decades. However, the quality of pCT images is limited due to the stochastic nature of the proton path inside the object. Numerous small angle scatters by the nuclei Coulomb field cause the exact proton path impossible to trace. The reconstruction from measurements of the proton energy-loss has a spatial resolution ...
