Abstract:
The present techniques provide for the evaluation of cellular motion and/or cellular properties based on an analysis of motion for cluster of cells. In an exemplary technique, images of cells are acquired and the image is segmented into clusters. Motion data for each respective cluster is derived from the segmented data. The properties of each cluster can be used to evaluate cellular properties and/or cellular motion properties.

Abstract:
An imaging system for correcting a bias in the location edges in an image is provided. The imaging system comprises an image processor configured to detect edges in an image of a given substructure, characterize a blurring factor in the image and correct a bias in the detected edges in the of a given substructure using the blurring factor.
Abstract:
A method for automatically measuring interventricular septum thickness is provided. The method in one embodiment comprises acquiring a series of ultrasound images of a heart, acquiring a septum mask by applying a septum segmentation algorithm on the series of ultrasound images, localizing a mitral valve tip using a valve tip localization algorithm and calculating the thickness of the interventricular septum using an interventricular septum thickness algorithm. The interventricular septum thickness algorithm uses the septum mask and the localized mitral valve tip as inputs.
Abstract:
An imaging system for generating three-dimensional (3D) images includes an imaging probe for acquiring two-dimensional (2D) image data of a region of interest. A sensor is coupled with the imaging probe to determine positional data related to a position of the imaging probe. A position determination module utilizes the image data acquired with the imaging probe and the positional data determined by the sensor to calculate a probe location with respect to the acquired 2D image data. An imaging module is configured to reconstruct a 3D image of the region of interest based on the 2D image data and the determined probe locations.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a cell imaging technique for automatically tracking the progression of a cell through the cell cycle over time through segmentation of a volume of two-dimensional time-lapse images. The technique allows long-term tracking of the cell cycle progression of an individual cell or multiple cells. Further, the invention provides a unique display of cell cycle progression, allowing an end user to easily determine changes to cell cycle progression for a cell of interest.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and computer program products for estimating the gestational age of a fetus are provided. According to one embodiment, the method generates a component image from a segmented ultrasound image of a fetal head. The component image includes one or more edges. The method then identifies a third ventricle within the component image. The method estimates a length of a bi-parietal diameter, based at least in part on the orientation of the third ventricle. Thereafter, the method estimates the gestational age of the fetus.
