    摘要: There is provided an apparatus (104) for storing medical imaging data. The apparatus comprises a processor configured to acquire a medical imaging study relating to a subject; identify elements in the medical imaging study that are indicative of the identity of the subject; anonymize the medical imaging study by removing the identified elements from the medical imaging study; deliver the anonymized medical imaging study for storage at a first location; and deliver data relating to the identified elements for storage at a second location. An apparatus for retrieving medical imaging data from storage, associated methods and a computer program product are also disclosed.

    摘要: A system for associating acquired images with objects is disclosed. It comprises an image selector (1) for selecting a stored image from a database (5) comprising a plurality of stored images, the database (5) comprising an association (21) between the stored image (6) and an object of interest; an image scanner (2) for acquiring a new image (9) comprising a representation (10) of at least part of the object of interest, during an imaging session; a user interface (3) for enabling a user, during the imaging session, to indicate that the new image (9) is to be associated with the object of interest; and an associating subsystem (4) for creating an association (23) between the new image (9) and the object of interest in the database. The user interface (3) is arranged for enabling a user to select the object of interest from a plurality of objects of interest associated with the stored image (6).

    摘要: A system and method is provided which obtains different medical images (210) showing an anatomical structure of a patient and having been acquired by different medical imaging modalities and/or different medical imaging protocols. The system is configured for fitting a first deformable model to the anatomical structure in the first medical image (220A), fitting a second deformable model to the anatomical structure in the second medical image (220B), mutually aligning the first fitted model and the second fitted model (230), and subsequently fusing the first fitted model and the second fitted model to obtain a fused model (240) by augmenting the first fitted model with a part of the second fitted model which is missing in the first fitted model; or adjusting or replacing a part of the first fitted model based on a corresponding part of the second fitted model having obtained a better fit. The fused model represents a multimodal/multi-protocol segmentation of the anatomical structure, and provides a user with a more comprehensive understanding of the anatomical structure than known models.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method of compensating for differences in medical images, is provided. The method includes receiving (S110) image data comprising a temporal series of medical images (110 1..i ). The temporal series includes one or more medical images generated by a first type of imaging modality (120), and one or more medical images generated by a second type of imaging modality (130, 130'). The first type of imaging modality is different to the second type of imaging modality. In one aspect, the method includes generating (S120a, S120b), from the temporal series of medical images (110 1..i ), a normalised temporal series of medical images (140 1..i ), and outputting (S130a, S130a', S130b) the normalised temporal series of medical images (140 1..i ) and/or one or more measurement values derived therefrom. In another aspect, the method includes generating (S120a, S120b), from the temporal series of medical images (110 1..i ), one or more normalised measurement values (150 1..j ) representing a region of interest in the temporal series of medical images (110 1..i ), and outputting the normalised measurement value(s) (150 1..j ).
