    摘要: A system for generating a view of a medical image comprises an input (1) for receiving information indicative of a suspected diagnosis of a patient. An input (2) for receiving a medical image of the patient. A mapper (3) for mapping the suspected diagnosis of the patient to a set of viewing parameters for viewing the medical image. A view generator (8) for providing a view of the medical image in accordance with the set of viewing parameters. A database (4) for mapping a suspected diagnosis into a set of generic viewing parameters. A transformer (5) for transforming the set of generic viewing parameters into a set of image-specific viewing parameters based on content of the medical image.

    摘要: The invention relates to a system for accessing a database comprising a plurality of image data sets. The system comprises an acquisition unit for acquiring a query for searching the database for an image data set or an image data subset comprised in an image data set, the query comprising at least one medically relevant term defining search criteria; a determining unit for determining the image data set or the image data subset comprised in the image data set, based on the strength of semantic matches between the at least one medically relevant term and (a) corresponding medical annotation(s) describing the image data set; and a retrieving unit for retrieving the determined image data set or image data subset from the database. By enabling semantic matches between medical annotations describing the image data set and the medically relevant term comprised in the query, this invention enables searching for medical images with high-level medical information that is meaningful for medical diagnosis and treatments.

    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: 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.
