Abstract
A method includes obtaining, at a local imaging system, projection data for an object representing an intensity of radiation detected along a plurality of rays through the object using a first set of imaging parameters; transmitting an image quality dataset related to the obtained projection data to a remote server; generating, via the remote server, localized restoration information based on the received image quality dataset; transferring the localized restoration information from the remote server to the local imaging system; and updating the local imaging system using the localized restoration information.

A method, comprising:
- obtaining, at a local imaging system, projection data for an object representing an intensity of radiation detected along a plurality of rays through the object using a first set of imaging parameters;
- transmitting an image quality dataset related to the obtained projection data to a remote server, the image quality dataset including at least one parameter, of the first set of imaging parameters, involved in obtaining the projection data;
- generating, via the remote server, localized restoration information for calibrating the local imaging system based on the received image quality dataset, the localized restoration information being configured to maintain a constant image quality of the projection data obtained by the local imaging system;
- transferring the localized restoration information from the remote server to the local imaging system;
- and
- updating at least one setting related to the obtaining of the projection data on the local imaging system using the localized restoration information.
An imaging system, comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- obtain, at a local imaging system, projection data for an object representing an intensity of radiation detected along a plurality of rays through the object using a first set of imaging parameters;
- transmit an image quality dataset related to the obtained projection data to a remote server, the image quality dataset including at least one parameter, of the first set of imaging parameters, involved in obtaining the projection data;
- generate, via the remote server, localized restoration information for calibrating the local imaging system based on the received image quality dataset, the localized restoration information being configured to maintain a constant image quality of the projection data obtained by the local imaging system;
- transfer the localized restoration information from the remote server to the local imaging system;
- and
- update at least one setting related to the obtaining of the projection data on the local imaging system using the localized restoration information.
