Embodiment Construction

[0164] figure 1 A CT system 1 according to the invention is shown with a computing unit 35 according to the invention.

[0165] The CT system 1 has a gantry 20 , a tunnel-shaped opening 9 , a patient positioning device 10 and a control device 30 . The frame 20 has a stationary support frame 21 and a rotor 24 . The rotor 24 is arranged on the stationary support frame 21 so as to be rotatable relative to the stationary support frame 21 about a rotational axis by means of a rotary bearing arrangement. The patient 13 can enter the tunnel-shaped opening 9 . The acquisition area 4 is located in the tunnel-shaped opening 9 . The region to be imaged of the patient 13 , in particular the measurement field, can be positioned in the acquisition region 4 such that electromagnetic radiation 27 can reach the region to be imaged from the radiation source 26 and, after interacting with the region to be imaged, reach the quantum count X Radiation detector 28. The patient positioning devic...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method, a computing unit, a CT system and a computer program product for providing result data suitable for use in planning an irradiation of a patient. The method for providing result data suitable for use in the planning of an irradiation of a patient comprises the following method steps: Acquisition of CT measurement data of the patient, which CT measurement data have been acquired by means of a CT device with a quantum counting X-ray detector , - further processing of the CT measurement data, wherein a specific information content of the CT measurement data is taken into account in the further processing of the CT measurement data, which is derived by using a quantum counting X-ray detector when acquiring the CT measurement data, The further processing of the CT measurement data produces result data which are suitable for use in planning the irradiation of the patient and are provided to the interface so that they can be used for planning the irradiation of the patient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method, a computing unit, a CT system and a computer program product for providing result data suitable for use in planning an irradiation of a patient. Background technique [0002] In radiation therapy, a target volume of a patient, such as a tumor, is irradiated with ionizing radiation. Here, external radiation therapy is known, which involves irradiating the patient's body from outside the body. Likewise, a form of internal radiation therapy, also known as brachytherapy, is known. In brachytherapy, a radiation source comprising radioactive material is introduced into a patient's body to locally destroy or eliminate tumor tissue in a target volume within the patient's body. [0003] In principle, the challenge in the irradiation of patients is to ensure that a sufficient radiation dose is fed to the target volume in order to destroy the tumor tissue contained in the target volume. At the same time, the risk organs surro...
