    摘要: A system and method for creating a panoramic projection of a volumetric image of an object is disclosed. A virtual camera is placed in a center of a cubic space within the object. Images obtained from the camera are projected onto a single plane. A front image is mapped in a window at a center of the plane. A left, right, top and bottom image of the cubic space are mapped around the rectangular window such that the left, right, top and bottom images form a continuous image surrounding the rectangular window.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing reports of medical procedures includes a biometric data recorder to record and transmit biometric data of a patient, the biometric data being transmitted with a medical report of the medical procedure. The medical report and biometric data are transmitted as an encrypted transmission to an information center for storage. The medical reports of steps in the medical procedure for a patient are linked using the biometric data even if performed by different medical service providers. Medical reports of plural patients undergoing the procedure are stored, linked according to patient using the patient biometric data. Reports generated from the linked data anonymously report a given patient's status following the procedure. Statistical reports are generated on plural patients undergoing the procedure, and competing procedures are compared using the statistical reports.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided to record at least a first and a second image of a marking on a surface of an object with a mobile computing device including a processor, a display and a camera with a lens. The lens and the display are located at the same side of the body of the computing device. The first image is taken with a first part of the display illuminating the object and the second image is taken with a second part of the display illuminating the object illuminating the object from different directions. Different illumination directions provide different shadow effects related to ridges and grooves on the surface. Processing the images which are substantially registered allows extraction of markings created by ridges and or grooves on the surface of the object. Computer tablets and smart phones perform the steps of the present invention.

    摘要: With a method for controlling the dose or dose rate when recording x-ray images by means of a detector comprising image elements which record a plurality of dose data values, an actual value is determined for the dose or dose rate from the totality of the data values recorded by the image elements of a predetermined image segment, said actual value being compared with a predetermined target value in order to control the dose or dose rate when recording a further x-ray image. In accordance with the invention, the actual value is determined such that on the basis of a frequency distribution of the dose data values of the image elements assigned to the dominant, a p-quantile is determined, and that the dose data value assigned to the p-quantile is used to determine the actual value.

    摘要: A method and system for guiding imaging reading for colon screening includes scrolling through a succession of two dimensional (2D) cross-sectional images of a colon in respective image planes. A point of intersection with a current image plane with the centerline of the colon is marked in a first color in the current cross-sectional image. As the scrolling proceeds and a new current cross-sectional image in a respective image plane is observed. a new point of intersection is marked in the current cross-sectional image in the first color and the prior point of intersection is projected onto the new current cross-sectional image and marked in a second color.

    摘要: A computer-controlled method for automatically positioning a guide for a biopsy needle for its proper insertion into the body of a patient from a selected point on a surface of the body, so as to enter in a straight line passing through a designated target region within the body, in conjunction with an imaging system utilizing radiation from first and second source positions for deriving first and second radiographic images. The method includes the steps of (a) selecting a first auxiliary plane at an angle &THgr;1; moving the guide within the first auxiliary plane to an angle &phgr;1 so as to cause the guide image on the first image plane to be aligned in a straight line through the target region; (b) storing values for the angles &THgr;1 and &phgr;1; selecting a second, different, auxiliary plane at an angle &THgr;2; (c) moving the guide to an angle &phgr;2 within the second auxiliary plane so as to cause the guide image on the second image plane to be aligned in a straight line through the target region; storing values for the angles &THgr;2 and &phgr;2; calculating, by utilizing values stored for the angles, rotations &agr; and &THgr; so as to derive a first viewing plane &pgr;; and (d) moving the guide within the first viewing plane &pgr; to an angle &phgr;3 so as to cause the guide image on the second image plane to be aligned in a straight line through the target region, whereby the guide is properly aligned.

    摘要: Modern image processing systems for the postprocessing of X-ray images require a large number of input parameters and take a great deal of time. So that calculations do not need to be made sequentially for different sets of input parameters, parallel processors are used, in which the same image processing program is executed in each case, but with different input parameters in each case. A large number of processed X-ray images is thus obtained, which in particular can also be displayed simultaneously. From the multiple processed x-ray images, a repeated postprocessing of a processed x-ray image can take place by mixing.
