Patent CA-2360656-A1 (CA)
Title: Real-time image reconstruction for computed tomography systems
Inventor: LECOMTE ROGER
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 2001-10-31
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and a system for real-time reconstruction of tomographic images from projection data generated by computed tomography scanners. The method is based on the theory of pseudo-inverse system matrices applied to tomographic image reconstruction, and it allows immediate, projection-by-projection or event-by-event updating of the reconstructed tomographic image at the moment the measuring instrument supplies additional individual projection data. The data processing involves simple arithmetic, which can be implemented into general-purpose computers, digital signal processors, dedicated programmable logic devices or application specific circuits. Models of the underlying physical processes, such as the photon emission and detection processes or the spatially variant system response, can be easily included into image reconstruction through the system matrix. Corrections for other physical and instrumental factors affecting the accuracy of projection data, such as attenuation in the body or detector efficiency normalization, can be merged with the pseudo-inverted and regularized system matrix beforehand or be performed "on the fly" by simple multiplication of the matrix elements. Real-time updating of the reconstructed tomographic image can be performed as soon as measured projection data become available. No storage of the measured raw data in the form of list mode events or sinogram is required, and the user of the tomographic system may choose to store reconstructed images only, thus achieving optimal compression of the tomographic data.
