A method and system for fusion of multi-modal volumetric images is disclosed. A first image acquired using a first imaging modality is received. A second image acquired using a second imaging modality is received. A model and of a target anatomical structure and a transformation are jointly estimated from the first and second images. The model represents a model of the target anatomical structure in the first image and the transformation projects a model of the target anatomical structure in the second image to the model in the first image. The first and second images can be fused based on estimated transformation.

A method and system for providing medical decision support based on virtual organ models and learning based discriminative distance functions is disclosed. A patient-specific virtual organ model is generated from medical image data of a patient. One or more similar organ models to the patient-specific organ model are retrieved from a plurality of previously stored virtual organ models using a learned discriminative distance function. The patient-specific valve model can be classified into a first class or a second class based on the previously stored organ models determined to be similar to the patient-specific organ model.

A system and method for identifying a shape of an anatomical structure in an input image is disclosed. An input image is received and warped using a set of warping templates resulting in a set of warped images. An integral image is calculated for each warped image. Selected features are extracted based on the integral image. A boosted feature score is calculated for the combined selected features for each warped image. The warped images are ranked based on the boosted feature scores. A predetermined number of warped images are selected that have the largest feature scores. Each selected warped image is associated with its corresponding warping template. The corresponding warping templates are associated with stored shape models. The shape of the input image is identified based on the weighted average of the shapes models.

A method and system for patient-specific computational modeling and simulation for coupled hemodynamic analysis of cerebral vessels is disclosed. An anatomical model of a cerebral vessel is extracted from 3D medical image data. The anatomical model of the cerebral vessel includes an inner wall and an outer wall of the cerebral vessel. Blood flow in the cerebral vessel and deformation of the cerebral vessel wall are simulated using coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational solid mechanics (CSM) simulations based on the anatomical model of the cerebral vessel.

A method for generating Pairwise Active Appearance Models (PAAMs) that characterize shape, appearance and motion of an object and using the PAAM to track the motion of an object is disclosed. A plurality of video streams is received. Each video stream includes a series of image frames that depict an object in motion. Each video stream includes an index of identified motion phases that are associated with a motion cycle of the object. For each video stream, a shape of the object is represented by a shape vector. An appearance of an object is represented by an appearance vector. The shape and appearance vectors associated at two consecutive motion phases are concatenated. Paired data for the concatenated shape and appearance vectors is computed. Paired data is computed for each two consecutive motion phases in the motion cycle. A shape subspace is constructed based on the computed paired data. An appearance subspace is constructed based on the computed paired data. A joint subspace is constructed using a combination of the shape subspace and appearance subspace. A PAAM is generated using the joint subspace and the PAAM is stored in a database.

A method and system for providing detecting and classifying coronary stenoses in 3D CT image data is disclosed. Centerlines of coronary vessels are extracted from the CT image data. Non-vessel regions are detected and removed from the coronary vessel centerlines. The cross-section area of the lumen is estimated based on the coronary vessel centerlines using a trained regression function. Stenosis candidates are detected in the coronary vessels based on the estimated lumen cross-section area, and the significant stenosis candidates are automatically classified as calcified, non-calcified, or mixed.

A method for detecting an object of interest in an input image includes the computer-implemented steps of: receiving an image, providing a multi-class pose classifier that identifies a plurality of pose features for estimating a pose of the object of interest, providing a plurality of cascades of serially-linked binary object feature classifiers, each cascade corresponding to different poses of the object of interest in the input image, selecting at least one of the cascades using the estimated pose, and employing the selected cascades to detect instances of the object of interest in the image.
摘要:
A plane position for a standard view is detected from three-dimensional echocardiographic data. The position of the plane within the volume is defined by translation, orientation (rotation), and/or scale. Possible positions are detected and other possible positions are ruled out. The classification of the possible positions occurs sequentially by translation, then orientation, and then scale. The sequential process may limit calculations required to identify the plane position for a desired view.
