    摘要: An imaging system (10) includes imaging modalities such as a PET imaging system (12) and a CT scanner (14). The CT scanner (14) is used to produce a first image (62) which is used for primary contouring. The PET system (12) is used to provide a second image (56), which provides complementary information about the same or overlapping anatomical region. After first and second images (62, 56) are registered with one another the first and second images (62, 56) are concurrently segmented to outline a keyhole (76). The keyhole portion of the second image (56) is inserted into the keyhole (76) of the first image (62). The user can observe the composite image and deform a boundary (78) of the keyhole (76) by a mouse (52) to better focus on the region of interest within previously defined keyhole.

    摘要: A method and apparatus accounting for tumor motion during radiation therapy is provided. The method allows for radiation therapy treatments based on updated radiation therapy plans. For each fractionate radiation treatment that results in an updated radiation treatment, radiation treatment images are acquired, automatically segmented, and then subject to deformable registration to develop updated contours and an updated radiation therapy plan.

    摘要: The invention aims at improving the point-based elastic registration paradigm. Point-based elastic registration is typically carried out by finding corresponding point landmarks (2, 4) in both images and using the point correspondences as constraints to interpolate the global displacement field. A limitation of this approach is that it only ensures the correspondences between structures where point landmarks (2, 4) can be identified. Alternative concepts are limited by high computational costs for optimization. The concept of the invention provides a method and a system (1) wherein additional deformation field constraints are imposed by: partitioning (PART (IS, IT)) one or more restricted structures corresponding in the first (3) and the second (5) image and imposing additional constraints (fAddpart) derived from a-priori-knowledge to the one or more restricted structures. Preferred examples are i) pairs of interactively defined point landmarks (25), ii) landmarks resulting from automatic identification of corresponding structures in form of a line (23) or an area (27) or a form or a boundary (29, FIG. 3) thereof, iii) different material properties (tissue1, tissue2) of corresponding structures, iv) physiological constraints establishing more general correspondences.

    摘要: Ground glass opacities in the lung are non-solid nebular-like shadows in the parenchyma tissue of the lung, which may be precursors of a lung cancer. According to the present invention, ground glass opacities may automatically be determined on the basis of a texture analysis of the parenchyma. Advantageously, according to the present invention, a robust and reliable determination of ground glass opacities may be provided, even if vessels, lung walls, airspace or bronchi walls are present within the local neighborhood of the ground glass opacity.

    摘要: The basic principle of deformable models consists of the adaptation of flexible surfaces, such as triangular meshes to structures in the image. The optimal adaptation of an initial mesh is solved by energy minimization, where maintaining the shape of a geometric model is traded off against detected feature points of the surface of the structure in the image. According to the present invention, a prior shape model M(t) is combined with adaptation results S(t−1) of a previous image. Advantageously, this provides for a robust segmentation of moving or deforming objects.

    摘要: A system for segmenting current diagnostic images includes a workstation (30) which segments a volume of interest in previously generated diagnostic images of a selected volume of interest generated from a plurality of patients. One or more processors (32) are programmed to register the segmented previously generated images and merge the segmented previously generated images into a probability map that depicts a probability that each voxel represents the volume of interest (24) or background (26) and a mean segmentation boundary (40). A segmentation processor (50) registers the probability map with a current diagnostic image (14) to generate a transformed probability map (62). A previously-trained classifier (70) classifies voxels of the diagnostic image with a probability that each voxel depicts the volume of interest or the background. A merge processor (80) merges the probabilities from the classifier and the transformed probability map. A segmentation boundary processor (84) determines the segmentation boundary for the volume of interest based on the current image based on the merge probabilities.

    摘要: When modeling anatomical structures in a patient for diagnosis or therapeutic planning, an atlas (26) of predesigned anatomical structure models can be accessed, and model of one or more such structures can be selected and overlaid on an a 3D image of corresponding structure(s) in a clinic image of a patient. A user can click and drag a cursor on the model to deform the model to align with the clinical image. Additionally, a processor (16) can generate a volumetric deformation function using splines, parametric techniques, or the like, and can deform the model to fit the image in real time, in response to user manipulation of the model.
