    摘要: A framework for cross-modality image synthesis. A first and second model may be trained using respective first and second pairs of complementary images and corresponding first and second ground truth images that represent first and second views of a region of interest. The first and second pairs of complementary images may be acquired by a first modality and the first and second ground truth images may be acquired by a second modality. A combinational network may further be trained to combine features from the first and second models. At least one synthetic second modality image may then be generated by passing current images through the trained first or second model and the combinational network, wherein the current images are acquired by the first modality and represent the first or second view of the region of interest.

    摘要: In a method and an apparatus for rib unfolding in an MR image, a computer is provided with an input data file formed of volumetric MR data that represent a 3D image of the rib cage and the lungs of a subject. A view is selected wherein the ribs in the rib cage are in approximated as curves, such as a transverse slice through the 3D image, or an oblique view of the 3D image. The lungs in the selected view are used in order to define a first smooth curved surface representation that is inside of the rib cage. Further ellipses are selectively defined starting from the first ellipse and moving outwardly from the first smooth curved surface representation that respectively proceed through rib pairs in the rib cage in the selected image. These further smooth curved surface representations are then used to unfold the 3D image, by cutting and straightening these further smooth curved surface representations, thereby obtaining an unfolded 3D image, which is then displayed at a display.
