Patent EP-4121798-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TRAVISH GIL
IPC: A61B6/00
Filed: 2021-03-10
Abstract: Foreign objects, usually small and dense, can be easy to see on an x-ray but difficult to precisely locate on 2D radiographs (due to lack of depth information). A CT scan is commonly performed before surgery to locate the shrapnel for removal as this type of scan provides a precise location. This can be very useful in a hospital setting, but (due to the bulky size of the CT equipment and the complex use and readout) is not practical for in-the-field use. Digital tomosynthesis (DT) gives better diagnostic information than 2D X-ray, rivalling CT. However, tomosynthesis reconstruction requires sophisticated algorithms and a powerful computer, and can take several minutes to complete. The present invention takes a single x-ray image of a body (50) using multiple sources. In normal tomography and tomosynthesis imaging, such overlapping cones would lead to un-reconstructable data as significant overlap, in general, can't be deconvolved and is not soluble. However, here, for the detection and localisation of dense, compact objects (40), a location of an object (40) may be determined in three spatial dimensions from a single two-dimensional image. That is, processor-intensive reconstruction of a three-dimensional volume may be avoided.
