摘要:
A method for three-dimensional segmentation of a target in multislice images of volumetric data includes determining a center and a spread of the target by a parametric fitting of the volumetric data (201), and determining a three-dimensional volume by non-parametric segmentation of the volumetric data iteratively refining the center and spread of the target in the volumetric data (202).
摘要:
A system and method for monitoring disease progression or response to therapy using multi-modal visualization are provided. The method comprises: selecting a first image dataset of a first timepoint (310); loading the first image dataset of the first timepoint (320); selecting a second image dataset of a second timepoint (330); loading the second image dataset of the second timepoint (340); registering the first image dataset of the first timepoint and the second image dataset of the second timepoint (350); and displaying the first image dataset of the first timepoint and the second image dataset of the second timepoint (360).
摘要:
CAD (computer-aided decision) support systems, methods and tools for medical imaging are provided, which use machine learning classification for automated detection and marking of regions of interest in medical images. Machine learning methods are used for adapting/optimizing a CAD process by seamlessly incorporating physician knowledge into the CAD process using training data that is obtained during routine use of the CAD system.
摘要:
A method for bolus tracking includes acquiring one or more baseline images (S12). One or more trigger regions are automatically established within the baseline images (S14). A bolus is administered (S13). The automatically established trigger regions are monitored for bolus arrival at the one or more trigger regions (S17). Bolus arrival at a volume of interest is forecasted based on the bolus arrival at the one or more trigger regions (S18). A diagnostic scan of the volume of interest is acquired at the forecasted time (S19).
摘要:
A system and method for linking volumes of interest (VOIs) across timepoints are provided. The method comprises: loading an image dataset of a first timepoint and an image dataset of a second timepoint; registering the image dataset of the first timepoint and the image dataset of the second timepoint; displaying the image dataset of the first timepoint and the image dataset of the second timepoint; selecting a VOI in the image dataset of the first timepoint and the image dataset of the second timepoint; and linking the VOIs in the image dataset of the first timepoint and the image dataset of the second timepoint.
摘要:
A system and method for loading a timepoint for comparison with a previously loaded timepoint are provided. The method comprises: selecting an image dataset of the timepoint; validating the image dataset of the timepoint against a validated image dataset of the previously loaded timepoint; and constructing a volume based on the image dataset of the timepoint.
摘要:
CAD (computer-aided decision) support systems, methods and tools are provided for automated decision support for screening, evaluating, and/or diagnosing medial conditions. For example, CAD support systems and tools implement methods for automatically processing patient data for a subject patient using various interpretation methods, and integrally rendering and presenting the interpretation results to a user (e.g., physician, radiologist, etc.) in a manner that enables fast and efficient screening, evaluation, and/or diagnosis of potential medical conditions of the subject patient.
摘要:
CAD (computer-aided detection) systems, methods and tools are provided for automatically inserting "false" marks (e.g., incorrect marks, misleading marks, etc.) in medical images to ensure an unbiased CAD-assisted review of the marked medical images by physicians, clinicians, radiologists, etc. For example, a method for automatic detection of medical conditions in medical images includes the steps of receiving image data, processing the image data to detect potential medical conditions in the image data, adding a mark in the image data that indicates a detected medical condition, adding a false mark in the image data; and outputting marked image data comprising one or more marks that indicate a detected medical condition, or one or more false marks, or both. The individual performing a CAD-assisted review of the "marked" image data is aware that one or more "false" marks may be included in displayed images, which prevents blind reliance on the CAD results.
