YAN Tian-feng, SUN Yan, SUN Yi
2011, 20(1): 1-10.
Abstract(1784) PDF(5)
Abstract:
Tomosynthesis can reconstruct any sectional image of object using limited angle projection. Before the research of reconstruction method,projection simulation is an important step,this paper proposed a projection simulation method based on GPU Raycasting algorithm. Comparing to CPU simulation method,GPU simulation method is faster in calculation and much closer to the practical projection based on hardware-based trilinear interpolation. This paper simulates projection using traditional CPU method and GPU method respectively,reconstructs the projections above by ART algorithm and Wavelet-Galerkin algorithm and achieves good results.

CHEN Si, CHEN Hao, LI Shou-tao
2011, 20(1): 11-20.
Abstract(1520) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Though CT technique has been developed for more than forty years,there are many difficulties in ensuring precision of surface reconstruction. For the Scattered Points from industrial CT image,a data pre-processing is implemented. After the process of extracting datapoint,the algorithms of fitting,interpolation and approximation is presented. Taking example for the scatter points which translate from CT image of a part by VG,the data pre-processing and approaching algorithm are implemented with VC++ and OpenGL software. The approach is proved to be correct by the example.

2011, 20(1): 21-27.
Abstract(1633) PDF(5)
Abstract:
In order to reconstruct high-quality image from projection data at limited angle,we develop an improved fast iterative reconstruction algorithm. The basic idea of this algorithm is that used the perspective of data to complete unknown perspective projection data is applied,and the image can be made by Algebraic Reconstruction Technique(ART). In the end,we have performed numerical experiments using computer simulation data. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm not only improves the quality of image reconstructed,but also significantly increases the convergence speed of iteration image.

Depth Migration Based on Arbitrarily Wide-Angle Wave Equation with Parameters Optimization
SUN Qi-feng, BAI Qing-yun
2011, 20(1): 29-38.
Abstract(1476) PDF(1)
Abstract:
It is difficult to image the geological structure with strong lateral variation and steep dip. On the basis of the Arbitrarily Wide-Angle Wave Equation(AWWE),we implemented migration with finite difference high-split scheme in frequency-space domain. Optimization of the velocity parameters is a key factor in the accuracy of imaging. The test of impulse response clears that the low order AWWE can be adapted to higher steep dips by optimization of the parameters. The pre-stack migration of Marmousi data shows that the method can handle strong lateral variation and steep dip.

XU Sai-hua, ZHANG Er-hua
2011, 20(1): 47-54.
Abstract(1658) PDF(5)
Abstract:
Visualization in scientific computing is a new field of study proposed and developed in developed countries in the 20th century and the late 80's. Using Computer Graphics and Image processing techniques,3D data can be converted to graphics or images displayed on screen for interactive processing. The main methods include surface visualization and volume rendering. Ray-casting algorithm is the most classical method of volume rendering methods about 3D data,which has higher image quality but longer calculation time. CUDA-based programming technique using the GPU hypercore parallel computing function,can significantly improve the calculation speed,and realize the real-time visualization of large-scale 3D data.

2011, 20(1): 55-61.
Abstract(1522) PDF(4)
Abstract:
The paper specifically describes a Feldkamp-type algorithm for the reconstruction of a volume of interest(VOI) from cone-beam(CB) projections. First,we analyze the traits of the reconstruction algorithm,and at the same time,proposes the optimization method by use of symmetry properties in the mode of cone beam scan. Finally,our proposed algorithm is tested using the three-dimensional Shepp–Logan phantom. The experimental results show that the optimization method can efficiently accelerate the speed of image reconstruction and doesn’t affect image quality.

LÜ Xin-rong
2011, 20(1): 73-82.
Abstract(1578) PDF(2)
Abstract:
Skull bone is one of the most important parts in the human's body,which protects and supports the brain tissues. Nowadays,due to many various reasons,a lot of people suffer from the skull bone defects,which not only affect the appearance,but also may cause brain damages. How to repair the skull bones for people effectively has become an international hot topic. At present,doctors diagnose the state of the bone defect illness mainly depending on observing the CT images of patients,and make the repair model by hand. It mainly depends on the technique and experience of the doctors. In order to solve this problem,this paper focuses on using the interactive technology to make the skull repair procedure efficient. During this process,we used B-Spline to repair some typical slices or each slice of the CT images,construct the restoration that fits the skull surface and then transfer it as a file in specific format to a machine based on technology of computer aided design and computer aided manufacture to produce a real restoration. This method can shorten the time of operation,reduce the risk of operation,and produce a suitable repair result for patients.

Fracture detection rates of X-ray plain is 83.7% and dislocation detection rates is 76.3%;Among 226 acetabular fractures,X-ray plain and SSD mis-diagnosed about 61 and 20 fractures separately. The detection rate of X-ray plain and SSD of fracture was 73.0 % and 91.2%. In 99 sacral and coccyx fractures,X-ray plain and SSD mis-diagnosed about 48 and 11 cases,the fracture-dislocation detection rate was 56.0% and 89.9% separately. Through χ2 examination,X-ray plain and CT of pelvic fracture had differences in statistically(p<0.05). There's no statistical difference between SCT/MPR and SSD(p>0.05).

Abstract(1610) PDF(3)
Abstract:
Purpose : To analyze the characteristics of CT and MR of duodenal stromal tumors. Materials and Methods: The CT and MR findings of 16 patients with primary duodenal stromal tumors were analyzed retrospectively,and compared with their pathological results. CT scanning were performed in 12 cases and MR in 4 cases. Results: Pathological report:borderline tumor 5 cases,low-grade malignant tumor 4 cases,moderate /high-grade 7 cases. On CT/MRI,the lesions presented as round and lobulated solid Masses and cystic-solid mixed masses. On non-enhanced CT/MRI,the lesions appeared as mixed density/signal intensity masses. After contrast administration,the solid masses and the solid portions of the tumors demonstrated significantly enhancement in arterial phases and still keep enhancement the portal phases. The non-enhancement portions represented necrosis. Calcification was found in 3 cases and air-filled cavity in 5cases. Conclusion: The findings of CT and MRI of duodenal stromal tumors were related with their pathological characteristics. CT and MRI can supply valuable information for the locations of duodenal stromal tumors,and MRI was more effective in displaying hemorrhage,cystic degeneration of the lesions than CT.

Abstract:
With the rapid development of X-ray detectors,photon counting energy dispersive detectors become more and more popular in X-ray imaging area. Using this kind of detectors,a polychromatic X-ray spctrum can be seperated into different energy regions and the photon number in each energy region can be counted independently,thus attenuation coefficients under different photon energies can be obtained. Multi-energy X-ray imaging technique opens up new perspectives within the fields of X-ray imaging. This paper introduces the latest development of photon counting X-ray detector and its application in medical imaging. Also some advantages of this technique in CT imaging are presented in this paper such as dose reduction,SNR improvement and precision improvement of material discrimination. Recently,a lot of research institutes are dedicated to faster electronic device and readout chip for photon counting detectors. With the rapid development of multi-energy imaging,it will bring a large revolution for X-ray imaging.
