20120281810 | APPARATUS FOR CAPTURING RADIATION IMAGE, MEDICAL IMAGING SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF CAPTURING RADIATION IMAGE - An apparatus for capturing a radiation image of a subject including at least two materials includes a radiation irradiating unit configured to irradiate multi-energy radiation including at least two energy bands to a calibration model including a plurality of thicknesses of each of the at least two materials; an attenuation-coefficient estimating unit configured to estimate attenuation coefficients for each of the at least two materials for each of the at least two energy bands based on values obtained by passing the multi-energy radiation through the calibration model; and an energy-band determining unit configured to determine an optimal combination of at least two energy bands to be included in multi-energy radiation to be irradiated to the subject from a plurality of different combinations of at least two energy bands based on the estimated attenuation coefficients and the values obtained by passing the multi-energy radiation through the calibration model. | 11-08-2012 |
20120288176 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ESTIMATING MONTE-CARLO SIMULATION GAMMA-RAY SCATTERING IN POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY USING GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT - A method and apparatus for reconstructing an image by generating a scatter-corrected sinogram are provided. In the reconstructed image in which initial scattering is not corrected, a emission position of a photon is determined. A graphics processing unit (GPU) calculates migration of the photon using a Monte-Carlo simulation. A 3-dimensional (3D) line of response (LoR) may be calculated through a position in which the photon reaches a detector. The calculated LoR may be converted into a 3D sinogram form and stored in a prompt sinogram and a scatter-corrected sinogram. A final scatter-corrected sinogram may be generated by adjusting a scale of the scatter-corrected sinogram. | 11-15-2012 |

20140334701 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONVERGENCE GUARANTEED IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION - A convergence guaranteed image reconstruction method and apparatus that may compute an initial reconstruction image based on a plurality of sinograms, generate a patch-based low rank regularization image based on the initial reconstruction image, and generate a desired reconstruction image by updating the initial reconstruction image based on the patch-based low rank regularization image and an intensity lookup table. | 11-13-2014 |
20150117742 | MEDICAL IMAGING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF RECONSTRUCTING MEDICAL IMAGE - A method of reconstructing a tomographic image in a medical imaging apparatus includes: acquiring a first image of an object and a second image of the object corresponding to an image to be reconstructed; determining, in the first image, a reference region corresponding to a unit region in the second image; and updating data in the unit region based on data contained in the reference region. Thus, a medical image having both high spatial resolution and high temporal resolution is reconstructed to have substantially reduced artifacts. | 04-30-2015 |
