    摘要: A method of deriving blood flow parameters from a moving three-dimensional (3D) model of a blood vessel includes determining a reference vascular cross-sectional plane through a location of a lumen in a moving 3D model of the blood vessel at one time within the model, determining a plurality of target vascular cross-sectional planes at multiple times via temporal tracking of the reference plane based on a displacement field, determining a plurality of contours based on an intersection of the target vascular cross-sectional planes with the moving 3D vessel model at multiple times within the model, and determining a blood flow parameter of the vessel from intersections of each contour of a given one of the times with a phase contrast magnetic resonance (PC-MRI) image of the blood vessel from the corresponding time.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for determining midpoint coordinates of an image of a point-symmetrical structure stored in a volume data record, comprising: extracting a partial volume data record from the volume data record which contains the image of the point-symmetrical structure, selecting a set of points whose coordinates lie in the partial volume data record, determining a measure for each point of the set wherein the measure for each of the points of the set characterizes in each case the symmetry of the partial volume data record in relation to this point, selecting a point as a midpoint of the point-symmetrical structure that point of the set in relation to which the partial volume data record has the greatest symmetry on the basis of the previously determined measures, and storing the coordinates of the midpoint in a computer unit.

    摘要: In a method and magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus for combining MR signals that were acquired with different acquisition coils from a region of an examination subject at least two MR signals that are based on MR signals acquired with at least two different acquisition coils are provided to a processor. Due to the spatially differing arrangement of the respective acquisition coils, the at least two MR signals image the region of the examination subject with different sensitivity profiles. The provided MR signals are combined, such that unwanted MR signal portions are suppressed, to form a combined MR signal with the suppression of unwanted MR signal portions being implemented by MR signal portions that were acquired with an acquisition coil that detects the unwanted MR signal portions with increased sensitivity in comparison to other acquisition coils being weighted less in the combined MR signal than other MR signal portions.

    摘要: A method and system for left ventricle (LV) detection in 2D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images is disclosed. In order to detect the LV in a 2D MRI image, a plurality of LV candidates are detected, for example using marginal space learning (MSL) based detection. Candidates for distinctive anatomic landmarks associated with the LV are then detected in the 2D MRI image. In particular, apex candidates and base candidates are detected in the 2D MRI image. One of the LV candidates is selected as a final LV detection result using component-based voting based on the detected LV candidates, apex candidates, and base candidates.

    摘要: In a method for evaluation of two images of an organ system acquired at different points in time to establish a pathological variation, the organ system exhibits a first region and a second region that are present in and that are differentiated in each of the images, with the second region of the pathological variation being acquired more strongly than the first region. A registration is determined that causes the respective first region in two images to be in registration with each other. Imaging system-dependent differences, in particular deformations, are determined and compensated between the two images. After an extension of the registration such that the second region is encompassed as well by the extended registration, via a transformation one of the two images to the other can be made, presented and/or stored that includes the second region, using the extended registration. A medical imaging system with a computer can implement the method.
