Abstract
A method generates a 3D image data set of a volume to be examined, in which at least part of a foreign object is positioned. A set of 2D projection images is recorded, the image regions which present the foreign object are detected in at least two 2D projection images of the set. The image regions which present the foreign object are segmented in the at least two 2D projection images. A marking assigned to the segmented image regions is incorporated in the at least two 2D projection images. The 2D projection images, including the at least two 2D projection images having the incorporated markings, are used for the reconstruction of a 3D image data set containing the marking.
Claims9
A method for generating a 3D image data set of a volume to be examined, in which at least part of a foreign object is positioned, which comprises the steps of:
- recording a set of 2D projection images;
- detecting image regions having the foreign object in at least two 2D projection images of the set of 2D projection images;
- segmenting the image regions having the foreign object in the at least two 2D projection images resulting in segmented image regions;
- incorporating a marking assigned to the segmented image regions in the at least two 2D projection images;
- and
- using the 2D projection images, including the at least two 2D projection images each having the marking, for a reconstruction of the 3D image data set containing the marking.
