no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0039] figure 1 It is a diagram showing the configuration of the X-ray CT apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment. Such as figure 1 As shown, the X-ray CT apparatus 100 has: a gantry apparatus 10, a bed apparatus 20, and a console apparatus 30 (also referred to as “image processing apparatus”). In addition, the structure of the X-ray CT apparatus 100 is not limited to the structure of the following embodiment.

[0040] The gantry device 10 irradiates the subject P with X-rays to collect projection data. The gantry device 10 includes a gantry control unit 11 , an X-ray generator 12 , an X-ray detector 13 , a data collection unit 14 , and a rotary frame 15 .

[0041] The gantry control unit 11 controls the operation of the X-ray generator 12 and the rotary gantry 15 under the control of the scan control unit 33 described later. The gantry control unit 11 includes a high voltage generating unit 11a, a collimator adjusting unit 11b, and a gantry driving unit 11c. The ...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0087] The X-ray CT apparatus 100 according to the second embodiment determines a reference frame from a frame group, and starts detection of a heart boundary from the reference frame, as in the above-described embodiment. Here, in the first embodiment, an example was described in which a frame corresponding to a predetermined reconstruction center phase is specified as a reference frame using incidental information attached to each frame, but the embodiment is not limited to this. The X-ray CT apparatus 100 according to the second embodiment analyzes each frame (or sinogram data) to calculate the amount of cardiac activity covering a plurality of cardiac beat phases, and specifies a frame in which the amount of cardiac activity is relatively small based on the calculation result. , so as to determine the base frame.

[0088] Image 6 It is a figure which shows the structure of the system control part 38 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment. Such as Image 6 As shown, in the se...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0104] The X-ray CT apparatus 100 according to the third embodiment specifies a reference frame from a frame group, and starts detection of a heart boundary from the reference frame, as in the above-described embodiment. Here, in the above-mentioned embodiment, an example in which a predetermined reconstruction center phase is used as the reconstruction center phase used when reconstructing each frame is described, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. In the third embodiment, the reconstruction center phase itself is specified by analyzing the sinogram data.

[0105] Figure 12 It is a diagram showing the configuration of the image reconstruction unit 36 ​​according to the third embodiment. Such as Figure 12 As shown, in the third embodiment, the image reconstruction unit 36 ​​further includes a reconstruction center phase determination unit 36a. For example, the reconstruction center phase determination unit 36a analyzes the sinogram data stored in the raw data stor...

Abstract

The image processing device involved in the embodiment has the generation, determination department, the first boundary testing department, and the 2nd boundary testing department.The above -mentioned generation of reconstruction images corresponding to the number of heart -taking images of the heart of the body to generate the body.The above determination department determines the corresponding frames corresponding to the heart auction from the above frame group.The above -mentioned first -border testing department detects the boundary of the above heart according to the above corresponding frames.The above 2nd boundary detection department uses the detected border to detect the above -mentioned heart boundary according to the above -mentioned frames.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to an image processing device and an X-ray CT device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is a technique for detecting the boundary of the heart from a frame group of the heart. For example, the boundary of the heart is detected from any one frame, and then the boundary of the heart is detected from the remaining frames using the detection result thereof. At this time, if the detection accuracy from the first frame decreases, the detection accuracy in all frames may also decrease.
