Method and system for radiation application
First Claim
1. A method for generating one or more images, comprising:
- collecting data samples representative of a motion of an object;
acquiring image data of at least a part of the object over a time interval;
synchronizing the data samples and the image data to a common time base; and
generating one or more images based on the synchronized image data.

Abstract
A method for generating one or more images includes collecting data samples representative of a motion of an object, acquiring image data of at least a part of the object over a time interval, synchronizing the data samples and the image data to a common time base, and generating one or more images based on the synchronized image data. A method for generating one or more images includes acquiring image data of at least a part of an object over a time interval, associating the image data with one or more phases of a motion cycle, and constructing one or more images using the image data that are associated with the respective one or more phases.

33. A method of gating an application of radiation, comprising:
-
measuring a first set of signal data representative of a physiological movement of a patient during a first time period;
comparing the first set of signal data with a second set of signal data related to measured physiological movement of a patient during a second time period to identify degree of deviation from periodicity of the physiological movement; and
gating radiation to the patient if the degree of deviation from periodicity exceeds a threshold based upon results of the pattern matching. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)

44. A method of gating an application of radiation for a CT procedure, comprising:
-
obtaining signal data representative of at least a portion of a physiological movement to form a set of ordered measurement samples;
comparing the set of ordered measurement samples against prior measurement samples of the physiological movement to determine deviation from periodicity of the set of ordered measurement samples; and
gating CT radiation to the patient if the deviation from periodicity is outside a threshold range. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47, 48, 49)
