    摘要: The invention relates to a system (100) for computing an image based on image data for displaying in a display, the image comprising a first image and a second image, the system comprising a first determination unit (110) for determining a first image data within the image data for computing the first image and for determining a second image data within the image data for computing the second image; a second determination unit (120) for determining a first transfer function for computing the first image and for determining a second transfer function for computing the second image; a third determination unit (130) for determining a viewing direction for computing the first image and for computing the second image; a fourth determination unit (140) for determining a first region of the display for displaying the first image and for determining a second region of the display for displaying the second image; and a computation unit (150) for computing the first image and the second image, thereby computing the image. The system (100) is thus capable of improving the quality of the displayed image by optimizing the first transfer function for computing the first image for displaying in the first display region and by optimizing the second transfer function for computing the second image for displaying in the second display region.

    摘要: There is described a method for generating a 2-D image of a 3-D object represented by a volume data set comprising a multiplicity of data points each having an opacity value. A plurality of notional rays are cast through the 3-D object and for each ray, a ray path is divided into a plurality of base sampling intervals defined by data points on the path. If it is determined that a difference in opacity values across a base sampling interval can become greater than a pre-determined value, successively smaller sampling regions are generated within the base sampling interval until it is determined that a difference in opacity values across each generated smaller sampling interval in the base interval is less than the pre¬ determined threshold. Values indicative of an interaction between the ray and the 3-D object in the sampling intervals along the path are accumulated using a direct volume rendering procedure to determine a pixel value in the 2-D image.

    摘要: The invention relates to a system (100) for obtaining information relating to segmented volumetric medical image data, the system comprising: a display unit (110) for displaying a view of the segmented volumetric medical image data on a display; an indication unit (115) for indicating a location on the displayed view; a trigger unit (120) for triggering an event; an identification unit (125) for identifying a segmented anatomical structure comprised in the segmented volumetric medical image data based on the indicated location on the displayed view in response to the triggered event; and an execution unit (130) for executing an action associated with the identified segmented anatomical structure, thereby obtaining information relating to the segmented volumetric medical image data. The action executed by the execution unit (130) may be displaying a name of the segmented anatomical structure, a short description of the segmented anatomical structure, or a hint on a potential malformation or malfunction of the segmented anatomical structure. Thus, the system (100) allows obtaining valuable information relating to the volumetric medical image data viewed by a physician on the display, thereby assisting the physician in medical diagnosing.

    摘要: There is described a method for generating a 2-D image of a 3-D object represented by a volume data set comprising a multiplicity of data points each having an opacity value. A plurality of notional rays are cast through the 3-D object and for each ray, a ray path is divided into a plurality of base sampling intervals defined by data points on the path. If it is determined that a difference in opacity values across a base sampling interval can become greater than a pre-determined value, successively smaller sampling regions are generated within the base sampling interval until it is determined that a difference in opacity values across each generated smaller sampling interval in the base interval is less than the pre¬ determined threshold. Values indicative of an interaction between the ray and the 3-D object in the sampling intervals along the path are accumulated using a direct volume rendering procedure to determine a pixel value in the 2-D image.
