Abstract
Methods and systems of displaying an image of an object are described. The displayed image is comprised of at least two parts that are displayed so as to present a unified image of the object. One part of the image is derived using a first temporal filter and the other part of the image is derived using a second temporal filter.
Claims26
A method of displaying an image corresponding to a dynamic x-ray, comprising:
- gathering a first image data set (“IDS”) that is representative of an x-ray of an object at a first time;
- identifying a first portion of the first IDS and a second portion of the first IDS, wherein the first portion of the first IDS is representative of a first part of the object, and the second portion of the first IDS is representative of a second part of the object;
- gathering a second IDS that is representative of an x-ray of the object at a second time;
- identifying a first portion of the second IDS and a second portion of the second IDS, wherein the first portion of the second IDS is representative of the first part of the object, and the second portion of the second IDS is representative of the second part of the object;
- applying a first filter using the first portion of the first IDS and the first portion of the second IDS, in order to produce a first display data set that is representative of the first part of the object;
- applying a second filter using the second portion of the first IDS and the second portion of the second IDS, in order to produce a second display data set that is representative of the second part of the object;
- displaying an image of the object, wherein a first part of the image depicting the first part of the object is displayed using the first display data set, and a second part of the image depicting the second part of the object is displayed using the second display data set.

A system for displaying an image corresponding to a dynamic x-ray, comprising:
- a monitor;
- and
- a microprocessor programmed to:
- gather a first image data set (“IDS”) that is representative of an x-ray of an object at a first time;
- identify a first portion of the first IDS and a second portion of the first IDS, wherein the first portion of the first IDS is representative of a first part of the object, and the second portion of the first IDS is representative of a second part of the object;
- gather a second IDS that is representative of an x-ray of the object at a second time;
- identify a first portion of the second IDS and a second portion of the second IDS, wherein the first portion of the second IDS is representative of the first part of the object, and the second portion of the second IDS is representative of the second part of the object;
- apply a first filter using the first portion of the first IDS and the first portion of the second IDS, in order to produce a first display data set that is representative of the first part of the object;
- apply a second filter using the second portion of the first IDS and the second portion of the second IDS, in order to produce a second display data set that is representative of the second part of the object;
- display via the monitor an image of the object, wherein a first part of the image depicting the first part of the object is displayed using the first display data set, and a second part of the image depicting the second part of the object is displayed using the second display data set.
