Abstract
An imaging method, accesses cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data and displays, on a display monitor, at least one view of the CBCT data. The method provides an interface for a user to indicate a tomosynthesis reconstruction plane on the displayed view of the CBCT data; and displays a tomosynthesis image on the display monitor according to the indicated tomosynthesis reconstruction plane.
Claims20
An imaging method, comprising:
- accessing cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data;
- displaying, on a display monitor, at least one view of the CBCT data;
- providing an interface for a user to indicate a tomosynthesis reconstruction plane on the displayed at least one view of the CBCT data;
- using the CBCT data, generating a tomosynthesis image according to the tomosynthesis reconstruction plane indicated using the interface;
- and
- displaying the generated tomosynthesis image on the display monitor.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- using an interface displayed on a display, selecting a plane of tomosynthesis reconstruction of a subject from reconstructed cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data;
- using the CBCT data, generating a tomosynthesis image according to the selected plane of tomosynthesis reconstruction;
- and
- displaying, storing, or transmitting the generated tomosynthesis image.
1 more element
An imaging method, comprising:
- acquiring CBCT volume data of a subject;
- displaying, on a display, a cross-sectional rendering of the CBCT volume;
- in response to a viewer instruction:
- (i) positioning a center of rotation for a tomosynthesis plane on the displayed image;
- and
- (ii) specifying a rotation angle of the tomosynthesis plane relative to the displayed image;
- using the CBCT volume data, generating a tomosynthesis image according to the specified tomosynthesis plane;
- and
- displaying, transmitting, or storing the generated tomosynthesis image.
