    摘要: An apparatus for visualizing image material in a multimodal imaging environment. Images (XF, USV) from an X-ray imager (100) and an ultrasound probe (USP) are fused into an interactive graphics display (GUI) to form a 3D scene, where, alongside to a 3D rendering (USS) of an ultrasound volume (USV) an X-Ray projection plan (XF) is displayed in perspective within the same scene. The rendering is according to a user selected view (UV) which is changeable upon user interaction with the interactive graphics display (GUI).

    摘要: The present invention relates to image acquisition technology. In particular, the present invention relates to tracking of an object of interest in ultrasound image information. For interventional procedures, an object of interest, e.g. the tool by which a procedure is performed, is depicted in image information acquired by a certain imaging modality. However, e.g. during transcatheter intracardiac procedures, tools are employed, which are rather narrow objects that may experience substantive passive motion due to heartbeat and blood flow as well as active motion due to the interventionist steering the tool. The present invention to allows steering two-dimensional ultrasound image acquisition, in particular steering of an imaging plane of an ultrasound image acquisition device, so that an object of interest remains visible in the acquired images, in particular without continuous readjustment of imaging parameters. Accordingly, a method for ultrasound image acquisition, in particular for tracking an object of interest in ultrasound image information, is provided comprising receiving (12) X-ray image information (40) and ultrasound image information (42), detecting (14) an object of interest (36) in the X-ray image information (40) and steering (16) two-dimensional ultrasound image acquisition such that the object of interest (36) is within a first ultrasound image plane (42).

    摘要: The present invention relates to apparatus for automatic quantification of a part of vascular structure. It is described to provide (12) at least one first image comprising a spatial representation of a region of interest of a vascular structure, wherein the at least one first image comprises image data representative of a location of a part of a medical device. The medical device is configured to be used in a vascular treatment, and the part of the medical device is configured to be in a plurality of states associated with different phases of the vascular treatment. At least one second image comprising a spatial representation of the region of interest of the vascular structure is provided (14), wherein the at least one second image comprises image data representative of at least a part of the vascular structure in a visible and distinct manner. A location of a feature in the spatial representation of the region of interest of the vascular structure of the at least one first image is determined (18), wherein the feature is associated with the part of the medical device in one of the states associated with a phase of the vascular treatment. A transform relating at least one location in the at least one first image to a corresponding at least one location in the at least one second image is determined (20) and applied to the location of the feature in the spatial representation of the region of interest of the vascular structure of the at least one first image to provide a determined location in the spatial representation of the region of interest of the vascular structure of the at least one second image. Data is output (22) representative of the vascular structure at the determined location.
