SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18675181 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION
The present disclosure discusses systems and methods for image reconstruction, specifically focusing on obtaining projection images of an object and generating a three-dimensional (3D) image based on these images.
- Systems obtain one or more projection images of an object and a first reconstruction image corresponding to these images.
- For each projection image, an initial range of a target region is determined based on the first reconstruction image.
- The target region is a low-gray region on the projection image caused by a substance with an X-ray attenuation coefficient above a certain threshold.
- The target region is then identified within the initial range on the projection image.
- A 3D image of the object is generated based on the target regions from the projection images.
Potential Applications: - Medical imaging for identifying abnormalities in the body - Industrial inspection for detecting defects in manufactured parts - Security screening for identifying concealed objects
Problems Solved: - Accurate reconstruction of 3D images from projection images - Identification of target regions in projection images - Improved visualization of objects for analysis and diagnosis
Benefits: - Enhanced image reconstruction accuracy - Efficient identification of target regions - Better understanding of object structures
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image Reconstruction Technology for Medical Imaging and Industrial Inspection This technology can be used in medical imaging facilities, industrial inspection companies, and security screening operations to improve image reconstruction and analysis processes.
Questions about Image Reconstruction Technology: 1. How does this technology improve upon traditional image reconstruction methods? This technology enhances image reconstruction accuracy by identifying target regions in projection images, leading to more precise 3D image generation.
2. What are the key advantages of using this advanced image reconstruction system? The system offers improved visualization of objects, efficient identification of target regions, and enhanced understanding of object structures, making it valuable for various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for image reconstruction. The systems may obtain one or more projection images of an object and a first reconstruction image corresponding to the one or more projection images. The systems may determine, for each of the one or more projection images, an initial range of a target region on the projection image based on the first reconstruction image. The target region may be a low-gray region generated on the projection image by a substance with an X-ray attenuation coefficient greater than a predetermined threshold. The systems may determine, within the initial range, the target region on the projection image. The systems may generate a three-dimensional (3D) image of the object based at least on target regions corresponding to the one or more projection images.
