Medical imaging techniques including adaptive reconstruction

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for adaptive image reconstruction can include: generating, by a processor, a preliminary reconstruction image using a preliminary reconstruction configuration; automatically adjusting the preliminary reconstruction configuration to an updated reconstruction configuration, by, at least: obtaining, by the processor, preliminary information from the preliminary reconstruction image; accessing, by the processor, a database of reconstruction configurations, the database providing a mapping of characteristics of images and objects in the images to reconstruction configurations; and performing, by the processor, a lookup operation to identify the updated reconstruction configuration based on the preliminary information; and generating, by the processor, a reconstruction image using the updated reconstruction configuration. Intermediate multifrequency images are generated during generating the preliminary reconstruction image and/or the reconstruction image and can be used to obtain preliminary information from the preliminary reconstruction image or reconstruction information from the reconstruction image, respectively.
