A theoretical model for respiratory motion artifacts in free-breathing CT scans.
Successful radiotherapy treatment depends heavily upon the accuracy of patient geometry captured during treatment simulation using computed tomography (CT) scans. Radiotherapy patients are often scanned under free breathing, and respiratory motion can cause severe artifacts in CT scans, including shortening, elongation or splitting of the shapes and shifting of the midpoint positions of the tum...
متن کاملFast, three-dimensional, collision-free motion planning
Issues dealing with fast, 3-D, collision-free motion planning are discussed, and a fast path planning system under developnlent at NBS i s described. The components of a general motion planner are outlined, and some of their computational aspects are discussed. It is argued that an octree representation of the obstacles in the world leads to fast path planning algorithms. The system we are deve...
متن کاملMulti-slice helical CT: scan and reconstruction.
The multi-slice CT scanner refers to a special CT system equipped with a multiple-row detector array to simultaneously collect data at different slice locations. The multi-slice CT scanner has the capability of rapidly scanning large longitudinal (z) volume with high z-axis resolution. It also presents new challenges and new characteristics. In this paper, we study the scan and reconstruction p...
متن کاملProspective respiratory-gated micro-CT of free breathing rodents.
Microcomputed tomography (Micro-CT) has the potential to noninvasively image the structure of organs in rodent models with high spatial resolution and relatively short image acquisition times. However, motion artifacts associated with the normal respiratory motion of the animal may arise when imaging the abdomen or thorax. To reduce these artifacts and the accompanying loss of spatial resolutio...
متن کاملRegistration of Free-Breathing Abdominal 3D Contrast-Enhanced CT
CT perfusion imaging is used for the follow-up of abdominal tumors. A specificity of our work is that patients are breathing freely during image acquisition (5 minutes). We propose an automatic 3D image registration to compensate respiratory motion. The registration is computed in two main steps: global translation in the z-direction and 3D multiresolution blockmatching. Within this algorithm, ...
