Selected Image Acquisition Technique To Optimize Patient Model Construction

摘要

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.

主权项

1. A method of acquiring image data of a subject with an imaging system, comprising:
acquiring initial image data of at least a portion of the subject with a mobile imaging system including the gantry movably attached to a mobile cart; constructing an initial three-dimensional model of the portion of the subject prior to a procedure performed on the portion of the subject; acquiring discriminatory discrete location image data of the subject; executing instructions with a processor system to compare the acquired discriminatory discrete location image data to the constructed initial three-dimensional model of the portion of the subject; executing instructions with the processor system to identify specific regions of threshold change between the acquired discriminatory discrete location image data and the constructed initial three-dimensional model of the portion of the subject; and executing instructions with the processor system to determine one or more comparative paths along which a detector shall move to acquire comparative image data.
