摘要:
Anatomical information is identified from a medical image and/or used for controlling a medical diagnostic imaging system, such as an ultrasound system. To identify anatomical information from a medical image, a processor applies a multi-class classifier. The anatomical information is used to set an imaging parameter of the medical imaging system. The setting or identification may be used in combination or separately.

A method for view classification includes providing a frame of an object of interest, detecting a region of interest within the object of interest for each of a plurality of detectors (e.g., binary classifiers), wherein each binary classifier corresponds to a different view, performing a global view classification using a multiview classifier for each view, outputting a classification for each view, fusing outputs of the multiview classifiers, and determining and outputting a classification of the frame based on a fused output of the multiview classifiers.

摘要:
During scanning or in real-time with acquisition of ultrasound data, a plurality of images is generated corresponding to a plurality of different planes in a volume. The volume scan data is searched by a processor to identify desired views. Multiple standard or predetermined views are generated based on plane positioning within the volume by the processor. Multi-planar reconstruction, guided by the processor, allows for real-time imaging of multiple views at a substantially same time. The images corresponding to the identified views are generated independent of the position of the transducer. The planes may be positioned in real-time using a pyramid data structure of coarse and fine data sets.

A method and system for fusion of multi-modal volumetric images is disclosed. A first image acquired using a first imaging modality is received. A second image acquired using a second imaging modality is received. A model and of a target anatomical structure and a transformation are jointly estimated from the first and second images. The model represents a model of the target anatomical structure in the first image and the transformation projects a model of the target anatomical structure in the second image to the model in the first image. The first and second images can be fused based on estimated transformation.

A method and system for regression-based object detection in medical images is disclosed. A regression function for predicting a location of an object in a medical image based on an image patch is trained using image-based boosting ridge regression (IBRR). The trained regression function is used to determine a difference vector based on an image patch of a medical image. The difference vector represents the difference between the location of the image patch and the location of a target object. The location of the target object in the medical image is predicted based on the difference vector determined by the regression function.

The present invention is directed to a method for populating a database with a set of images of an anatomical structure. The database is used to perform appearance matching in image pairs of the anatomical structure. A set of image pairs of anatomical structures is received, where each image pair is annotated with a plurality of location-sensitive regions that identify a particular aspect of the anatomical structure. Weak learners are iteratively selected and an image patch is identified. A boosting process is used to identify a strong classifier based on responses to the weak learners applied to the identified image patch for each image pair. The responses comprise a feature response and a location response associated with the image patch. Positive and negative image pairs are generated. The positive and negative image pairs are used to learn a similarity function. The learned similarity function and iteratively selected weak learners are stored in the database.
摘要:
A method for performing image based regression using boosting to infer an entity that is associated with an image of an object is disclosed. A regression function for a plurality of images is learned in which for each image the associated entity is known. The learned regression function is used to predict an entity associated with an image in which the entity is not known.

A method and system for patient-specific computational modeling and simulation for coupled hemodynamic analysis of cerebral vessels is disclosed. An anatomical model of a cerebral vessel is extracted from 3D medical image data. The anatomical model of the cerebral vessel includes an inner wall and an outer wall of the cerebral vessel. Blood flow in the cerebral vessel and deformation of the cerebral vessel wall are simulated using coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational solid mechanics (CSM) simulations based on the anatomical model of the cerebral vessel.
