20090097732 | Procedures for the presentation of medical images - The invention relates to a method for presentation of medical images by a reproduction facility of a diagnostic device with suppression of the noise with the following steps: one-off calibration of the signal-dependent noise; separation of the signal and noise components in the image; adaptation of the two components according to set parameters; and composition of the signals. | 04-16-2009 |
20100061589 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE TEMPERATURE OF A DIGITAL X-RAY DETECTOR, METHOD FOR GENERATING A TEMPERATURE-CORRECTED X-RAY IMAGE AND DIGITAL X-RAY DETECTOR - In order to improve the image quality of X-ray detectors, a method for determining the temperature of a digital X-ray detector with a scintillator and a pixel matrix of photodiodes is provided at least one point of the X-ray detector. According to the method a reverse voltage is applied to at least a first photodiode, the reverse current of the at least first photodiode is measured, and the temperature of the X-ray detector at the first photodiode is determined from the reverse current. | 03-11-2010 |
20110216986 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING IMAGE DATA - X-ray beam detectors in one model can individually differ from one another. This can lead to differences in the amount of noise in an image recorded with the aid of the respective X-ray beam detector. In the present case, a variable is derived using an empty image, which variable reproduces the amount of noise, and this variable then determines the type and extent of a filtering process. Hence the image processing is adapted to the respective individual noise behavior of the respective X-ray beam detector. This is particularly suitable if the X-ray beam detector is a flat-panel detector ( | 09-08-2011 |
20130259356 | Method For Reducing Direct Hit Artifacts And X-Ray Facility - A method for reducing artifacts produced by x-ray radiation directly striking a measuring pixel of a CMOS detector after crossing a scintillator, wherein, for an x-ray image recorded using the CMOS detector, artifact image points are extracted by applying a local, edge-obtaining smoothing operator that evaluates image data of neighboring image points located in the vicinity of a considered image point and comparison with the image to which the smoothing operator was applied, and their image data is corrected. | 10-03-2013 |
