    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus for tracking a position of an interventional device respective an image plane of an ultrasound field. The position includes an out-of-plane distance (Dop). A geometry-providing unit (GPU) includes a plurality of transducer-to-distal-end lengths (Ltde1 . . . n), each length corresponding to a predetermined distance (Ltde) between a distal end of an interventional device and an ultrasound detector attached to the interventional device, for each of a plurality of interventional device types (T1 . . . n). An image fusion unit (IFU) receives data indicative of the type (T) of the interventional device being tracked; and based on the type (T): selects from the geometry-providing unit (GPU), a corresponding transducer-to-distal-end length (Ltde); and indicates in a reconstructed ultrasound image (RUI) both the out-of-plane distance (Dop) and the transducer-to-distal-end length (Ltde) for the interventional device within the ultrasound field.

    摘要: A suspension system for a compressor assembly is provided. The compressor assembly includes at least one cylinder, at least one inlet fluidly connected with the at least one cylinder, an outlet fluidly connected with the at least one cylinder, and a motor housing. The suspension system includes a suspension member and a frame member. The suspension member includes a first fluid conduit connected with the coupling portion and including a first fluid terminal. The first fluid conduit is disposed in fluid communication with one of the outlet and the at least one inlet of the compressor assembly. The frame member includes a base portion, a first support portion, and a second support portion. A first mounting region is formed between the first support portion and the first fluid terminal. The first mounting region defines a first volume that at least partially encloses the first fluid terminal.

    摘要: A method for generating an energy-resolved X-ray image is proposed, usable e.g. for mammography or CT applications. First, a preferably low-dose X-ray beam (5) is directed through a region of interest of an object (15) such as a female breast and initial X-ray intensity values are acquired. Based on these initial X-ray intensity values, energy threshold values of for example a photon-counting energy-resolving X-ray detector (9) are specifically adapted to local properties and features of the object (15). With such adapted energy threshold values, energy-resolved main X-ray intensity values are acquired for finally generating the energy-resolved X-ray image. The principle of such specific adapting of energy threshold values in energy-resolved X-ray image acquisition may be advantageously implemented in scanning X-ray systems wherein first detector elements (17) of a scanned X-ray detector (9) are used to acquire the initial X-ray intensity values in order to then set the energy threshold values for subsequent detector elements (17) with which main X-ray intensity values are acquired.

    摘要: A method includes obtaining image data that includes contrast enhanced spectral image data from a contrast enhanced spectral volume scan of a subject. The method further includes obtaining images that include a set of localized dynamic contrast enhanced images from a localized dynamic contrast enhanced series scan of the subject. The method further includes determining a fluid volume map based on the image data and the images. A computing system includes a computer readable storage medium with computer readable instructions for a fluid volume map determiner. The instructions determine a volumetric fluid volume map based on contrast enhanced spectral volume image data from a contrast enhanced spectral volume scan and a set of localized dynamic contrast enhanced images from a localized dynamic contrast enhanced series scan. The computing system further includes a processor that implements the instructions and determines the volumetric fluid volume map.

    摘要: Tissue surface tracking of tissue features is disclosed. First surface imaged features are tracked based on the first and second time spaced images at a first wavelength. Second surface imaged features are tracked based on the first and second time spaced tissue surface images at the second wavelength. Tracking metrics are obtained based on the tracking steps. The tracking steps are combined to provide a combined tracking metric. The combined tracking metric is used in a tissue surface navigation application.
