20100316270 | 3D RECONSTRUCTION OF A BODY AND OF A BODY CONTOUR - The invention proposes a 3D reconstruction of a body and a body contour from transversally truncated projections using a polyhedral object model. Possible clinical applications arise in the field of guided biopsies on acquisition systems equipped with a flat panel detector, where truncated projections cannot be avoided in thorax and abdominal scan protocols. From, for example, a rotational run both a 3D volume reconstruction and a surface mesh reconstruction of a patient's shape is generated and then visualized simultaneously in order to help the physician guide the biopsy device and judge the distance from the patient's skin to the tissue of interest inside the reconstructed volume. | 12-16-2010 |

20110044559 | IMAGE ARTIFACT REDUCTION - A method includes generating simulated complete projection data based on acquisition projection data, which is incomplete projection data, and virtual projection data, which completes the incomplete projection data and reconstructing the simulated complete projection data to generate volumetric image data. An alternative method includes supplementing acquisition image data generated from incomplete projection data with supplemental data to expand a volume of a reconstructable field of view and employing an artifact correction to correct a correctable field of view based on the expanded reconstructable field of view. | 02-24-2011 |

20140219534 | INTERACTIVE LIVE SEGMENTATION WITH AUTOMATIC SELECTION OF OPTIMAL TOMOGRAPHY SLICE - An apparatus for automatic selection of optimal tomography slices by executing a number of tentative segmentations using the same interactively provided in-slice seed point on some or all available tomography slices. The appropriate segmentation boundaries are then marked and the slice with the best segmentation goodness value (figure of merit) is presented to the user via a viewer. The steps are repeated when the user changes the seed point. The optimal segmentation boundary is displayed on top of a single simulated mammography image, fused from all tomography slice images. | 08-07-2014 |
