Abstract:
A method of medical image registration includes obtaining a first medical image generated before a medical surgery; obtaining a second medical image generated in real time during the medical surgery; extracting landmark points of at least two adjacent anatomical objects recognizable in the second medical image among a plurality of anatomical objects near an organ of interest of a patient from the first medical image and the second medical image; and registering the first medical image and the second medical image based on a geometrical correlation among the adjacent anatomical objects indicated by the landmark points of the first medical image and a geometrical correlation among the adjacent anatomical objects indicated by the landmark points of the second medical image.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, a computer readable recording medium, and a medical imaging system are provided for segmenting an image of an object from an image of an organ. The method includes: generating a reference model of the object by using a priori knowledge related to the object of the organ; determining whether the first image includes a first area in which a shape of the object is unidentified; and in response to determining that the first image excludes the first area, segmenting a second image of the object from the first image, and in response to determining that the first image includes the first area, estimating a progression direction of the first area from the reference model to segment the second image from the first image.
Abstract:
Provided are methods of switching guest-host dual frequency liquid crystals by using a back flow. In the case of a shutter having a dual frequency liquid crystal layer between two transparent substrates, such a method includes: applying a first voltage having a first frequency to the dual frequency liquid crystal layer; and applying a second voltage having a second frequency to the dual frequency liquid crystal, the second frequency being higher than the first frequency, wherein the second voltage is higher than a threshold voltage that generates a back flow around liquid crystals of the dual frequency liquid crystal layer, and the first voltage is lower than the threshold voltage.
Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for tracking a tumor position, which changes by the movement of a body. According to various aspects, a location of a tumor position of a target organ may be estimated using images of one or more surrounding organs.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing registration of medical images includes mapping a virtual coordinate system used by a first medical apparatus and a virtual coordinate system used by a second medical apparatus to one another. The coordinate systems are associated with a real-time medical image captured by the first medical apparatus and a three-dimensional (3D) medical image previously captured by the second medical apparatus, respectively. The method further includes detecting a position of a probe of the first medical apparatus from a coordinate system used by the second medical apparatus, based on a result of the mapping, determining a volume image corresponding to the detected position of the probe from the previously captured 3D medical image, and extracting from the determined volume image a cross-sectional image corresponding to the real-time medical image, where the real-time medical image changes according to a patient's physical movement.

Abstract:
A method of tracing a movement trajectory of a lesion in a patient's internal structure, and a system for performing the same. The method includes generating an image showing a movement trajectory of a target portion that is a portion to be irradiated with a therapeutic wave, irradiating the internal structure with a tracking wave, determining a location of the target portion using a reflected wave, and determining whether the location of the target portion is within the movement trajectory.
