A Real-time Reconstruction Method of CBCT Short Scan Based on Attenuation Compensation / 中国医疗器械杂志

Aiming at the problem of timeliness of CBCT reconstruction, a CBCT fast short scan reconstruction method is proposed. At the same time, the image reconstruction process in which a new attenuation compensation algorithm is applied to improve image quality. When performing FDK three-dimensional reconstruction of a single-frame acquisition image, the Parker-weighted image is calculated in real time, and a new attenuation compensation algorithm is applied in the back projection process to complete the short scan Parker-weighted reconstruction. This method simulates the CBCT synchronous acquisition and reconstruction process by establishing collection and reconstruction threads. Under the premise of satisfying the reconstruction quality, the reconstruction can be completed within 1 to 2 seconds after the patient collection is completed, which achieves the purpose of real-time.

Design and Implementation of Automated QA Software for Cone Beam CT Image / 中国医疗器械杂志

In order to improve the speed and accuracy of cone beam CT image quality assurance, an automatic image quality assurance software based on feature extraction is designed and implemented. This paper introduces how the software can realize the positioning of Catphan500 phantoms and the selection of ROI in each module through Canny algorithm and Hough transform circle detection. For the different modules in the Catphan500 phantom, this paper describes the calculation methods of HU accuracy, spatial linearity, HU uniformity and spatial linearity in the software. Finally, the article verifies the feasibility of the software through experiments.
