    Abstract: As medical imaging becomes more affordable, and the diversity of diagnostic modalities and therapeutic treatments increase, the amount of data being stored increases, and the problem becomes even more critical. One approach to improve retrieval efficiency of images is to employ semantics to establish a defined set of search and classification terms. However, such semantic systems still require the user to make a selection of the most appropriate term or terms to classify a report or image, and the accuracy of the results are thus dependent on the skill and knowledge of the classifier. According to a first aspect of the invention, a retriever is provided for retrieving a medical image having a searchable attribute, the retriever being configured to interface with a semantic database and an image database, and wherein the searchable attribute is determined by segmenting the medical image, using the anatomical model.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a system (5, 15) and a method for detecting and annotating faces on-the-fly in video data. The annotation (29) is performed by modifying the pixel content of the video and is thereby independent of file types, protocols and standards. The invention can also perform real-time face-recognition by comparing detected faces with known faces from storage, so that the annotation can contain personal information (38) relating to the face. The invention can be applied at either end of a transmission channel and is particularly applicable in videoconferences, Internet classrooms, etc.

    Abstract: Language models which take into account the probabilities of word sequences are used in speech recognition, in particular in the recognition of fluently spoken language with a wide vocabulary, in order to increase the recognition reliability. These models are obtained from comparatively large quantities of text and accordingly represent values which were averaged over several texts. This means, however, that the language model is not well adapted to peculiarities of a special text. To achieve such an adaptation of a given language model to a special text on the basis of only a short text fragment, according to the invention, it is suggested that first the unigram language model is adapted with the short text and, in dependence thereon, the M-gram language model is subsequently adapted. A method is described for adapting the unigram language model values which automatically carries out a subdivision of the words into semantic classes.

    Abstract: A method includes identifying a plurality of different anatomical sub-regions of the cardiovascular system of a subject in image data of the subject based on a subject specific cardiovascular anatomical model, wherein the plurality of different regions corresponds to regions where calcifications occur, searching for and identifying calcifications in the sub-regions based on voxel grey value intensity values of the image data, and generating a signal indicative of one or more regions of voxels of the image data respectively corresponding to sub-regions including identified calcifications. A computing system (118) includes a processor that automatically determines a plurality of different groups of voxels of image data of a subject, wherein each group of voxels corresponds to a different sub-region of the cardiovascular system of the subject and each group of voxels corresponds to a region that includes a calcification identified in the image data.

    Abstract: The invention relates to evaluating medical image information, in particular physical properties of an object (32). When preparing a surgical procedure e.g. a minimally invasive procedure, it may be beneficial to plan the procedure in detail before starting the operation. Thus, obtaining precise information about physical properties of an object (32), e.g. a diameter value (34, 36) of an anatomical structure may be beneficial. Accordingly, a method and a system for determining a physical property (34, 36) of an object (32) is provided, which employs local object context information (38) for determining a local physical property of the object (32).

    Abstract: A system for establishing a contour of a structure is disclosed. An initialization subsystem (1) is used for initializing an adaptive mesh representing an approximate contour of the structure, the structure being represented at least partly by a first image, and the structure being represented at least partly by a second image. A deforming subsystem (2) is used for deforming the adaptive mesh, based on feature information of the first image and feature information of the second image. The deforming subsystem comprises a force-establishing subsystem (3) for establishing a force acting on at least part of the adaptive mesh, in dependence on the feature information of the first image and the feature information of the second image. A transform-establishing subsystem (4) is used for establishing a coordinate transform reflecting a registration mismatch between the first image, the second image, and the adaptive mesh.
