US 2019/0057524 A1 · Device and method for fine adjustment of the reconstruction plane of a digital combination image

Abstract

A method and a device for fine adjustment of the reconstruction plane of a digital combination image from individual images of a digital radiology system. The device includes an interface for providing individual images of an object. The individual images have overlapping regions with one another. A distance controller, with which the distance A of the individual images can be changed. A processing unit calculates a current combination image from the individual images. The individual images are each shifted by the distance A in relation to one another. A display unit displays the current combination image from the individual images. There is also described an image evaluation system and/or digital radiology system which includes the device.

Dependent claims

A device for fine adjustment of a reconstruction plane of a digital combination image composed from individual images of a digital radiology system, comprising:

an interface for providing at least two individual images showing different views or regions of the same object from mutually different perspectives and each individual image having an overlapping region with at least one further individual image;
a distance controller configured to define a distance value D as a function of a controller setting of said distance controller;
a processing unit connected to said interface and said distance controller and configured to calculate a current combination image from the individual images from a current distance value D determined by said distance controller in each case in a predetermined arrangement, wherein the individual images are each shifted relative to one another by a distance A based on the current distance value D determined by said controller;
and
a display unit connected to said processing unit for displaying the current combination image composed from the individual images.

A method for fine adjustment of the reconstruction plane of a digital combination image from individual images of a digital radiology system, the method comprising the steps:

providing at least two individual images, the individual images showing different views or regions of the same object from different perspectives, and each individual image having an overlapping region with at least one further individual image;
displaying a first combination image from the individual images in a predetermined arrangement on a display unit of a processing unit;
defining a distance value D as a function of a controller setting of a distance controller;
calculating a current combination image from the individual images in a predetermined arrangement, from a current distance value D determined by the distance controller in each case, wherein the individual images are shifted relative to one another in each case by a distance A, which is based on the currently defined distance value D;
and
displaying the current combination image.
