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.

In a computer tomography apparatus in accordance with the invention the advantages of the convolution calculation are combined with the advantages of recursive filtering. The processing unit for the measurement data includes a convolution filter which has only 64 convolution factors and which performs the central part of a convolution calculation (the number of measurement data amounts to, for example 512 or 1024) and a parallel-operating recursive filter which approximates the rests of the convolution calculation situated outside the central part by recursive filtering of the measurement data. Using five different multiplication factors and a corresonding number of attenuation factors, ample accuracy is achieved. By variable of only the 64 convolution factors, a large number of different filters can be realized, without it being necessary to change the factors for recursive filtering.

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.

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.

The invention relates to a method for designing a template that removably fits to an object's surface, comprising the steps of: obtaining in a computer aided design system a digitized three-dimensional image of the object determining an approach direction for the template to be placed on the object manipulating the image for removal of undercuts related to the approach direction resulting in a modified image of the object defining the template depending on the shape of the modified image, in which the image is processed for visualization in a viewing direction that identifies with the approach direction, and that the so processed image is used as the modified image depending on which the template is designed.

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.

Disclosed is a method of constructing an object data set of data elements representing a physical property to be displayed, stored or written to a readable medium. The method includes, assigning, by the data elements, data values to respective positions in a multi-dimensional geometrical space, wherein the data values representing a physical property of an object; assigning attributes to respective data elements; deriving relative contributions of the physical property to the data values of the respective data elements; and assigning the attributes to the data elements on the basis of the relative contributions of the physical property to the data values of the data elements.

The present invention relates to the field of digital imaging, in particular to the field of estimating geometrical properties of an anatomical object. According to the present invention, geometrical properties are automatically measured and geometrical properties which have a definition based on sub-parts of the object are derived. To do this, additional geometrical information is integrated into a surface model. Geometrical properties are included into the surface model by identifying and labelling sub-parts of the surface model and fitting geometric primitives to these sub-parts. This advantageously allows to identify these sub-parts on an unseen object surface and to automatically extract relevant geometric properties.

Sub-images are merged in order to form an assembled image representing an elongate scene. In order to counteract artifacts in the assembled image such as disturbing transitions at the boundaries of adjacent sub-images in the image assembly method in accordance with the invention, pixel-values of overlapping portions of consecutive sub-images are interpolated so as to form pixel-values of the assembled image. The relative shift between consecutive sub-images with respect to the elongate scene is calculated from image information contained in the sub-images themselves. Correlations of pixel-values in overlapping portions of consecutive sub-images are determined as a function of the shift-value of the shift between consecutive sub-images with respect to the elongate scene. The actual shift between consecutive sub-images is found as the shift-value for which the correlation attains its maximum-value. The image assembly method in accordance with the invention is particularly suitable for use in peripheral x-ray angiography. Consecutive sub-images are made by x-irradiations of e.g. a patient's leg with an x-ray imaging system comprising an x-ray source, an x-ray detector, in various positions relative to the patient. In order to induce a sufficient amount of contrast in the sub-images to enable the determination of the relative shift between consecutive sub-images the invention proposes to image a contrasting object together with the elongate scene itself. Preferably the contrasting object has the form of a ruler with a binary pattern which may be incorporated in the patient table.
