A method and system is disclosed for acquiring image data of a subject. The image data can be collected using an imaging system with a selected filtering characteristic. The image data can be reconstructed using reconstruction techniques.

Filter system and method for imaging a subject

A method and system is disclosed for acquiring image data of a subject. The image data can be collected with an imaging system with at least two different power characteristics. A volumetric model of multiple phases can be reconstructed using dynamic or enhanced reconstruction techniques.

Gated image acquisition and patient model construction

Disclosed is a system for imaging a system. The system may be operated to acquire image data of a subject in one or more manners. The image data acquired may be used to various purposes, such as generating an image for display, navigating a procedure, or other appropriate procedures.

System and method for imaging

A system and a method are disclosed that allow for generation of a model or reconstruction of a model of a subject based upon acquired image data. The image data can be acquired in a substantially mobile system that can be moved relative to a subject to allow for image acquisition from a plurality of orientations relative to the subject. The plurality of orientations can include a first and final orientation and a predetermined path along which an image data collector or detector can move to acquire an appropriate image data set to allow for the model of construction.

Selected image acquisition technique to optimize specific patient model reconstruction

A method and system is disclosed for acquiring image data of a subject. The image data can be collected with an imaging system having a detector able to move relative to the subject. A contrast agent can be injected into the subject and image data can be acquired with the contrast agent in various phases of the subject. A volumetric model of multiple phases can be reconstructed selected reconstruction techniques.

Method and apparatus for reconstructing image projections

A method and system is disclosed for acquiring image data of a subject. The image data can be collected with an imaging system with a selected filtering characteristic. The image data can be reconstructed using reconstruction techniques.

Selected image acquisition technique to optimize patient model construction

An X-ray imaging system can include an X-ray source that projects a beam of X-ray radiation and an X-ray detector positioned to receive the beam of X-ray radiation at a location. The X-ray detector can include: (i) a monolithic substrate having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, (ii) a scintillation layer arranged upon the first side and including a first region and a second region, the first region having a first X-ray sensitivity and the second region having a second X-ray sensitivity different than the first X-ray sensitivity, and (iii) a photosensor array arranged upon the second side. The X-ray source and X-ray detector can be configured to adjust the location at which the X-ray detector receives the beam of X-ray radiation such that the location is primarily within the first region or the second region.
