CT IMAGING
First Claim
1. A method of CT imaging in a CT system that includes a CT console, a CT scanner, and an image reconstruction computer, the method comprising:
- detecting, by the CT console, that a parameter adjustment instruction is received from a user during a scanning process in which a preview image is generated based on scan parameters and displayed to the user;
sending, by the CT console, adjusted scan parameters to at least one of the CT scanner or the image reconstruction computer, wherein the adjusted scan parameters are determined according to the preview image; and
controlling, by the CT console, the CT scanner and the image reconstruction computer to generate a new preview image based on the adjusted scan parameters.

Abstract
Methods, devices and apparatus for CT imaging in a CT system are provided. The CT system includes a CT console, a CT scanner and an image reconstruction computer. In one aspect, a method includes detecting, by the CT console, whether a parameter adjustment instruction is received from a user during a scanning process in which a preview image is generated and displayed to the user. If the parameter adjustment instruction is received, the CT console sends adjusted scan parameters to at least one of the CT scanner or the image reconstruction computer such that the CT scanner and the image reconstruction computer generate a new preview image based on the adjusted scan parameters that are determined according to the preview image. If the parameter adjustment instruction is not received, the CT console displays to the user a CT image generated by the image reconstruction computer after finishing the scanning process.

11. A device comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium coupled to the at least one processor having machine-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising; detecting whether a parameter adjustment instruction is received from a user during a scanning process in which a preview image is generated based on scan parameters and displayed to the user; in response to detecting that the parameter adjustment instruction is received, sending adjusted scan parameters to at least one of a CT scanner or an image reconstruction computer and controlling the CT scanner and the image reconstruction computer to generate a new preview image based on the adjusted scan parameters, wherein the adjusted scan parameters are determined according to the preview image; and in response to detecting that the parameter adjustment instruction is not received, displaying to the user a CT image generated by the image reconstruction computer after the scanning process has been completed. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
