Computer-implemented method for operating medical imaging device and imaging device

Abstract

The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for operating a medical imaging device, in which, in order to evaluate image data sets of computed tomography recorded by means of an imaging device, in particular by means of multi-energy computed tomography, processing data sets reflecting different image data contents can be determined from the image data sets by means of image processing, according to the invention, the following steps are provided: receiving at least one piece of user information describing a desired display form of the image data set; providing at least one piece of request information describing the evaluation algorithm to be used, in particular at least one piece of input data requested according to the user information; determining at least one first processing data set corresponding to the display form according to the user information, and determining at least one second processing data set which can be used as input data of a corresponding evaluation algorithm according to the request information; applying at least one evaluation algorithm to the corresponding second processed data set to determine evaluation information; and outputting the first processed data set and the evaluation information to a display device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for operating a medical imaging device, in which image data sets, in particular computed tomography, recorded with the imaging device, in particular by means of multi-energy computed tomography, are evaluated, from which it is possible to determine by image processing Processing datasets that reflect different image data content. Furthermore, the invention relates to an imaging device, in particular a computed tomography device, a computer program and an electronically readable data carrier. Background technique [0002] Medical imaging is the foundation of modern medical diagnosis. A great deal of information about the inside of the human body is available through increasingly advanced imaging methods and imaging techniques, however this information is not always directly visible by looking at processed datasets derived from image datasets for one display form. As a result, software means, espec...

Problems solved by technology

However, this can only be done to a very limited extent, since on the one hand this means a separate development for each display modality, but on the other hand, especially in the case of multi-energy computed tomography, there are multiple pairs Evaluate forms of display that cannot be meaningfully processed by the algorithm but are clinically beneficial, such as the above vessel display without contrast agent, however this results in the algorithm not finding vessels anymore
