Method for automatically setting and reconstructing the field of view along the inner boundaries of the thorax on a CT topogram

摘要

A method is disclosed for automatically setting and reconstructing the field of view along the inner boundary of the thorax on a CT topogram, the reconstructed field of view including exactly all the points on the inner boundaries of the thorax inside the scan area on the topogram. In an embodiment of the method, the search takes place from the body bones in the direction of the thorax, and the inner boundaries of the thorax of the patient are determined by comparing the CT values. An embodiment of method can be used for a precise, highly efficient and quick setting and reconstruction of the field of view.
