Storage device storing a program capable of improving accuracy of detection of a target object
A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores a program capable of improving the accuracy of detection of a target object. The program causes a computer to execute operations including, acquiring data in which a physical quantity is associated with each unit area acquired by dividing a given space; setting a detection region in a time space of three or more dimensions in the space or the time space; setting a control region at a position surrounding a gap with the gap surrounding the detection region disposed in a space having the same dimensions as those of the detection region; and determined whether or not one or more unit areas included in the detection region are predetermined areas on the basis of comparison between physical quantities of one or more unit areas included in the detection region and the control region that are set.
Fast 3D Radiography with Multiple Pulsed X-ray Sources by Deflecting Tube Electron Beam using Electro-Magnetic Field
An X-ray imaging system using multiple pulsed X-ray sources to perform highly efficient and ultrafast 3D radiography is presented. There are multiple pulsed X-ray sources mounted on a structure in motion to form an array of sources. The multiple X-ray sources move simultaneously relative to an object on a pre-defined arc track at a constant speed as a group. Electron beam inside each individual X-ray tube is deflected by magnetic or electrical field to move focal spot a small distance. When focal spot of an X-ray tube beam has a speed that is equal to group speed but with opposite moving direction, the X-ray source and X-ray flat panel detector are activated through an external exposure control unit so that source tube stay momentarily standstill equivalently. 3D scan can cover much wider sweep angle in much shorter time and image analysis can also be done in real-time.
BODY STRUCTURE IMAGING
A method of imaging nervous tissue, comprising acquiring functional imaging modality data from a functional imaging modality which images an intrabody volume of a patient having a body part, the patient having been injected with an imaging agent having a nervous tissue uptake by an autonomic nervous system (ANS); and locating the nervous tissue in the intrabody volume based on the functional imaging modality data.
Method and system for imaging
The present invention relates to the field of medical imaging in the absence of contrast agents. In one form, the invention relates to the field of imaging vessels, particularly blood vessels such as the pulmonary vasculature and is suitable for use as a technique for detecting pulmonary embolism (PE), such as acute PE. Embodiments of the present invention provide improved image processing techniques having the capability to extract and use image data to overcome the need for contrast agents to distinguish between different types of tissue. Furthermore, it has also been realised that the image data accessed by the improved image processing can be used to identify irregularities in vessels.
