ABSTRACT:
A CT Fluoro System display which includes apparatus and methods for facilitating effective performance of an interventional procedure. The apparatus and methods are generally referred to herein as partial image display, dynamic image reformation, in-room control, flat panel display, in-room display, and magnification. More particularly, an important performance parameter for a CT Fluoro System is the time to first image. Accordingly, and to reduce the time to first image, a partially reconstructed image can be displayed. In addition to fast image reconstruction, it sometimes is necessary to examine a needle position from different orientations, i.e., views. Accordingly, the present display provides dynamic image reformation wherein axial images are displayed at a very high rate and the operator may reformat the axial images and display the reformatted images in real time. Further, and to provide additional functionality and convenience for an operator, an in-room, or convenient, control including a "reverse and forward" play command button, "save" (or capture), "grid display", and "preset window/levels" functions is provided. By enabling an operator to perform these functions with the remote unit, the system is believed to be easier to use and useful information to the operator in an easily understandable format. Also, and to provide improved display, a flat panel display may be utilized. A user interface for use with the display includes a CT/i Interventional control, three message areas (hierarchical and designated as message area #1, message area #2, and message area #3), and an image control. Also, image magnification can be performed.
