MODEL-BASED VIRTUAL CLEANSING FOR SPECTRAL VIRTUAL COLONOSCOPY

摘要

The present invention relates to assessing the relative contribution of different tissues, or tissue mix. A method is proposed that is based on models of material transitions. The proposed method may be extended to take into account additional information available in increasingly used spectral CT or multi-parametric MRI. Different material concentration maps can be created, which can be used for improved visualization.
