Abstract
A medical imaging apparatus includes a scanner configured to acquire projection data of an object in a plurality of directions, and a data processor configured to generate a volume of interest based on the projection data, generate a two-dimensional (2D) reprojection image by reprojecting the volume of interest in at least one direction, and extract feature information from the 2D reprojection image.
Claims25
A medical imaging apparatus comprising:
- a scanner configured to acquire projection data of an object in a plurality of directions;
- and
- a data processor configured to generate a volume of interest based on the projection data, generate a two-dimensional (2D) reprojection image by reprojecting the volume of interest in at least one direction, and extract feature information from the 2D reprojection image.
A medical imaging apparatus comprising:
- a data processor configured to generate a volume of interest based on projection data and generate a 2D reprojection image by reprojecting the volume of interest in at least one direction;
- and
- a display configured to display the generated 2D reprojection image.
A control method of a medical imaging apparatus comprising:
- generating a volume of interest based on projection data of an object;
- generating a 2D reprojection image by reprojecting the volume of interest in at least one direction;
- extracting feature information from the 2D reprojection image;
- and
- determining whether a certain substance exists in the volume of interest based on the extracted feature information.
