    摘要: A method of visualization of a multi-dimensional dataset of data-elements involves a rendering process in which a display-value and an opacity value are assigned to individual data-elements. One or several control sets are defined comprising respective datavalues, display-values and opacity values related according to the transfer function and for individual control set(s) the opacity value is adjustable independently of the opacity values of other control set(s). The individually and independently adjustable control sets enable the user to adjust the transfer function in a very intuitive way.

    摘要: The invention concerns a method of visualising an internal hollow organ (3) of a subject based on a volumetric scan thereof. A number of three-dimensional images of the internal surface of the hollow organ are reconstructed. For each image an image (Li) is calculated for the left eye from a first view point li. Next an image for the right eye (Ri) is calculated from a second view point ri that differs from the first view point. The left eye image and the right eye image are combined into a pair (Li, Ri) to form a stereoscopic image that is shown using stereoscopic imager means. The invention also refers to a system and a computer program to carry out the method according to the invention.

    摘要: A computer tomography device, in which the row of detectors has been rotated through the quarter of a detector angle (.DELTA..psi./4) with respect to the X-ray source. The invention filters selected parallel measurement values which were measured in a single direction instead of doing so with all the selected measurement values measured in parallel and antiparallel directions. The calculating time required for filtering is reduced by a factor of 2 and the values can be pipeline processed.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a method of retrieving a plurality of data slices from a medical image data set (5), the method comprising the steps of: a) displaying an indicator (10, 20) associated with the plurality of data slices; b) selecting the indicator (10, 20) based on a user input; and c) retrieving the plurality of data slices (1, 2) associated with the indicator when said indicator is selected; wherein the association between the indicator and the plurality of slices is based on segmentation of the medical image data set, the indicator representing an object obtained in the segmentation of the medical image data set, the plurality of data slices comprising the object data. The method of the invention reduces the amount of data transfer because it allows for retrieving only those data slices which comprise relevant data relating to the object of interest.

    摘要: A system for visualizing a 3D volume, in particular for medical applications, includes an input 1010 for receiving a three-dimensional set of data representing voxel values of the 3D volume. The data set is stored in a storage 1030. A processor projects the volume onto an imaginary 2D projection screen from a predetermined viewpoint. For each pixel of the 2D projection image a ray is cast through the pixel and through the volume. A protocol is used that, while traversing along ray positions within the volume, determines a rendering algorithm and/or rendering parameters in dependence on the ray position. For each ray position the determined rendering algorithm/parameters are used to calculate a contribution to a pixel value of the pixel based on at least one voxel value within a predetermined range of the ray position. An output 1040 is used for providing pixel values of a 2D image for rendering on a display.

    摘要: A method for matching grayvalued first elements of a first data set with grayvalued second elements of a second data set so that a first distribution of the first elements optimally matches a second distribution of the second elements, said method being characterized by the following steps: mapping said first elements on said second elements and evaluating a local grayvalue distribution difference between any mapped first element and its associated second element; from said local grayvalue distribution difference deriving for each said first element a force vector of a force field, said force vector indicating a preferred motion size and direction; combining said separate force vectors into a single force and a single torque value acting on said first elements collectively, for iteratively moving said first elements collectively to an amended mapping that improves a match between said first and second distributions.

    摘要: A method of constructing an object data set of data elements representing a physical property is described, in which the construction of the object data set includes assigning attributes to respective data elements. Such attributes are used, for example, in volume rendering. The construction of the object data set is achieved in such a way that the relative contributions of the physical property to the values of the respective data elements are derived on the basis of the relative contributions of the physical property to the data values of the data elements. These contributions are calculated by modeling transition changes in the image using a plot of grey value and gradient magnitude. Sampling of data points along the maximum gradient allows identification of the ranges of the physical property contributing to the selected voxel and calculation of the relative amounts.

    摘要: An apparatus 1000 includes an input 1010 for receiving an N-dimensional signal, N≧2. A storage 1030 stores a composite model of a composite structure for estimating parameters of the model with respect to the signal. The composite model is based on constituent models 210-290 that each correspond to a constituent structure in the signal and that are incorporated in the composite structure. Each constituent model is designated for estimating parameters of the constituent model with respect to the signal based on prior knowledge of the constituent structure. At least two of the constituent models are based on differing technologies. Each constituent model is provided with a uniform interface for controlling the constituent model and for retrieving parameters estimated by it. A processor 1020 is programmed to estimate the model parameters by controlling the constituent models to estimate their parameters; to retrieve estimated parameters from the constituent models; and to estimate parameters of the model in dependence on the retrieved parameters.
