Surview scan method for computed tomography systems
The patent US12026884B2 outlines a method and system for enhancing the operation of computed tomography (CT) systems. The method involves collecting a static image of a subject while the scan bed is stationary, which includes a positioning line. It establishes a scan beginning position and a reference position within the static image, calculating the distance between these points. As the scan bed moves, the system captures real-time video images of the subject, identifies corresponding reference positions, and marks a new scan beginning position in the video. The method includes a threshold-based mechanism to initiate a surview scan when the distance between the new scan position and the positioning line meets specific criteria.
Additionally, the system incorporates features for real-time monitoring and feedback. It can identify the subject's eye position and prompt them to close their eyes if they are too close to the positioning line. The system also allows for the display of both global and local views of the video and collected images on a main console, facilitating better visualization during the scanning process. The patent further details operations for displaying generated images in real time, ensuring that the surview and tomographic images meet predetermined scan requirements before proceeding. This comprehensive approach aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of CT imaging while enhancing patient comfort and safety.
