Abstract: By using the Al module, the method of the present invention calculates, i.e. predicts, the dependency Ci (pi) of a radiotherapy (RT) quality criterion C, from an adjustment of such a radiotherapy planning parameter pi. In this way, the decision making process in RT treatment plan optimization is streamlined by prediction of promising settings of one or more radiotherapy planning parameters p, before the actual time intensive iterative optimization process is carried out. This is achieved by applying an Al module, which has been trained to predict the specific behaviour of the dose optimization algorithm, i.e. the optimizer, with respect to geometric patient data, dose prescription and treatment indication data. Thus, a computer-implemented medical method of predicting a dependency Ci (pi) of a radiotherapy (RT) quality criterion Ci from an adjustment of a radiotherapy planning parameter p, is presented. The method comprises the following steps of providing geometric patient data geometrically describing an area of a patient, which is to be irradiated according to a radiotherapy treatment plan (step S1), providing dose prescription data and treatment indication data for said patient (step S2), and predicting with a trained Artificial Intelligence (Al) module the dependency Ci (pi) of the radiotherapy quality criterion Ci from the radiotherapy planning parameter p, when adjusting said radiotherapy planning parameter pi, thereby using the geometric patient data, the dose prescription data and the treatment indication data as input for the Al module (step S3).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for registering a virtual representation of a patient anatomy with a coordinate system of a physical patient anatomy, comprising displaying first overlap data in a head-mounted device, wherein the first overlap data describe from a first perspective onto the physical patient anatomy a first visual overlap between the virtual representation of the patient anatomy and the physical patient anatomy, identifying at least a first area in the first visual overlap and/or at least a first anatomical feature of the patient anatomy in the first visual overlap having at least a minimum degree of alignment between the virtual representation and the physical patient anatomy, displaying second overlap data in the head-mounted device, wherein the second overlap data describe from a second perspective onto the physical patient anatomy a second visual overlap between the virtual representation of the patient anatomy and the physical patient anatomy, and taking into account, during the displaying of the second overlap data, the alignment of the identified first area and/or anatomical feature of the patient anatomy that was identified in the first visual overlap as having at least a minimum degree of alignment between the virtual representation and the physical patient anatomy.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method which encompasses registering a tracked imaging device such as a microscope having a known viewing direction and an atlas to a patient space so that a transformation can be established between the atlas space and the reference system for defining positions in images of an anatomical structure of the patient. Labels are associated with certain constituents of the images and are input into a learning algorithm such as a machine learning algorithm, for example a convolutional neural network, together with the medical images and an anatomical vector and for example also the atlas to train the learning algorithm for automatic segmentation of patient images generated with the tracked imaging device. The trained learning algorithm then allows for efficient segmentation and/or labelling of patient images without having to register the patient images to the atlas each time, thereby saving on computational effort.

Abstract: The disclosed method relates to an approach of monitoring validity of a patient registration, wherein a contour of a rigid anatomical structure is initially determined in three-dimensional space, and its spatial position is constantly checked afterwards so as to detect a possible spatial deviation of the contour which may indicate an invalidated patient registration.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of segmenting a medical patient image using an atlas and relating the segmentation result to a model of possible geometric changes to the segmentation result (e.g. for correcting the position of the segmentation of anatomical structures) which consider for example anatomical limitations. The thus-related segmentation result may be used as a basis for changing and/or correcting the position, shape and/or orientation of at least parts of the segmentation result, e.g. by user interaction. The invention also relates to an atlas data set comprising information such as values of the variables of the model of possible geometric changes in relation to the positions of anatomical structures in the atlas.

Abstract: A system and related method for computer-implemented medical image processing. The method may comprise a step of receiving (S720) input data comprising a projection of a three-dimensional, 3D, or higher dimensional image volume generated by a medical imaging apparatus. The method may comprise processing (S740) the input data by using a trained machine learning model (M) to facilitate computing a location in the 3D volume of a structure of interest. The method may include outputting (S760) output data indicative of the said location.
