    摘要: The invention relates to a system (100) for obtaining information relating to segmented volumetric medical image data, the system comprising: a display unit (110) for displaying a view of the segmented volumetric medical image data on a display; an indication unit (115) for indicating a location on the displayed view; a trigger unit (120) for triggering an event; an identification unit (125) for identifying a segmented anatomical structure comprised in the segmented volumetric medical image data based on the indicated location on the displayed view in response to the triggered event; and an execution unit (130) for executing an action associated with the identified segmented anatomical structure, thereby obtaining information relating to the segmented volumetric medical image data. The action executed by the execution unit (130) may be displaying a name of the segmented anatomical structure, a short description of the segmented anatomical structure, or a hint on a potential malformation or malfunction of the segmented anatomical structure. Thus, the system (100) allows obtaining valuable information relating to the volumetric medical image data viewed by a physician on the display, thereby assisting the physician in medical diagnosing.

    摘要: A method, computer program and device for creating a viewing protocol for medical images is described. At least a first site of interest is identified in a medical imaging data set captured from the patient. Patient record data or computer assisted detection information can be used to identify the site of interest, which may be a potential lesion. A viewing protocol for displaying medical images to a user is planned. The viewing protocol includes a viewing path along which an image of the site of interest will be displayed. The viewing protocol also includes a trigger associated with the site of interest. When the trigger event is encountered the dynamic mode of image display is reconfigured to dynamically highlight the site of interest. The viewing protocol can then be used to control the display of images so as to provide, for example, a virtual endoscope.

    摘要: The invention relates to an image registration apparatus for registering a first image and a second image with respect to each other. A model, which has a fixed topology, is adapted to the first image for generating a first adapted model and to the second image for generating a second adapted model, and corresponding image elements (40, 48, 49; 50, 58, 9) are determined in the first image and in the second image based on spatial positions of first image elements in the first image with respect to the first adapted model and spatial positions of second image elements in the second image with respect to the second adapted model. Since the model has a fixed topology, corresponding image elements can relatively reliably be found based on the adapted models, even if the first and second images show objects having complex properties like a heart, thereby improving the registration quality.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Method and system for facilitating post-processing of images using deformable meshes in which a deformable mesh model of an object such as an organ is extended by attaching information thereon in order to simplify and/or facilitate a desired post-processing task so that the post-processing task effected when the mesh is applied to the same object in an additional image can expeditiously use this information. The information may be attached to the mesh after its creation, for example, upon segmentation of the same object in some training image. The post-processing task can therefore be performed automatically without user interaction upon segmentation of the object in the additional image. Information is encoded on the mesh by enumerating a list of triangles or vertices of the mesh which have to be considered in the subsequent, post-processing task and by optionally providing additional parameters defining the precise post-processing algorithm(s) to be used.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method (100) of adapting a geometric model to an image data comprising determining a first partial transformation for mapping a first part of the geometric model into the image data and a second partial transformation for mapping a second part of the geometric model into the image data. By determining the first partial transformation of the first part of the geometric model and the second partial transformation of the second part of the geometric model, the geometric model can assume more shapes and therefore can be more accurately adapted to an object comprised in the image data.

    摘要: The invention relates to the adaptation method (200) of adapting a geometric model to an image data comprising a region selection step (230) for selecting a region of the geometric model and a manual adaptation step (235) for manually adapting the geometric model to the image data using a set of characteristics of the region comprised in the geometric model. Using a region-specific characteristic from the set of characteristics of the selected region, such as a region-specific parameter determining the deformation range, for manually adapting the geometric model to the image data, requires relatively fewer user interactions.
