    Abstract: Augmented reality (AR) servicing guidance uses a mobile device (30, 90) with a display and a camera. Computer vision (CV) processing (102) such as Simultaneous Location and Mapping (SLAM) is performed to align AR content (80) with a live video feed (96) captured by the camera. The aligned AR content is displayed on the display of the mobile device. In one example, the mobile device is a head-up display (HUD) (90) with a transparent display (92, 94) and camera (20). In another example the mobile device is a cellphone or tablet computer (30) with a front display (34) and a rear-facing camera (36). The AR content (80) is generated by CV processing (54) to align (70) AR content with recorded video (40) of a service call. The aligning (72) includes aligning locations of interest (LOIs) identified in the recorded video of the service call by a user input.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an image generation apparatus (1) for generating an image of a deformable object (5) like a woman's breast. A first image generating unit (2) like an ultrasound head generates a first image of the object covered by a flexible cover element (6), wherein a shape sensing and localization unit (10), in particular, a fiber-optic shape sensing and localization unit, determines the shape and position of the cover element. The apparatus further comprises a position determination unit (11) for determining the position of the first image generating unit relative to the cover element. Information about the deformation of the deformable object with respect to the first image can therefore be provided, which can facilitate reviewing the first image, especially reviewing of breast images. For instance, this information can facilitate a comparison of breast images acquired by different imaging modalities.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a calculation device (10) for comparing dark-field X-ray images. The calculation device in (10) is configured for receiving a first dark-field X-ray image (11) describing first dark-field X-ray signals of a patient at an expiration state and for receiving a second dark-field X-ray image (12) describing second dark-field X-ray signals of the patient at an inspiration state. The calculation device is further (10) configured for normalizing the first dark-field X-ray signals of the first dark-field X-ray tin image (11) with a lung thickness value describing the lung thickness at the expiration state and for normalizing the second dark-field X-ray signals of the second dark-field X-ray image (12) with a lung thickness value describing the lung thickness at the inspiration state. Further, the calculation device (10) is configured for comparing the normalized first dark-field X-ray signals with the normalized second dark-field X-ray signals, thereby determining a comparison result (13) and for determining whether at least one area of the patient's lung with a ventilation defect exists based on the comparison result (13).

    Abstract: An imaging system combines a probe for obtaining image data in respect of a structure of interest below a surface of a subject, a first camera for obtaining images of the surface of the subject and a second camera for capturing images of the environment. A surface model of the subjects surface is obtained, and the position and/or orientation of the probe is tracked on the surface. Image data acquired at different positions and orientations is stitched based on the tracked position of the probe.

    Abstract: An ultrasound system is disclosed comprising an ultrasound transducer array (100) comprising a plurality of ultrasound transducer cells (130), each of said cell having an independently adjustable position and/or orientation such as to conform an ultrasound transmitting surface of the cell to a region of a body and a controller (140). The controller is configured to register the respective ultrasound transducer cells by simultaneously operating at least two ultrasound transducer cells in a transmit mode in which the cells transmit distinguishable ultrasound signals and operating the remaining ultrasound transducer cells in a receive mode. The controller extracts time-of-flight information of the respective ultrasound signals between transmitter and receiver and by systematically selecting different ultrasound transducer cells as transmitters, the controller collects sufficient time-of-flight information from which the respective position and/or relative orientation of the ultrasound transducer cells within the ultrasound transducer array may be derived. A method for operating the ultrasound system in this manner as well as a computer program product is also disclosed.
