    Abstract: A system and method is provided for generating a finite element (FE) model of an anatomical structure based on a fitted model of the anatomical structure and association data. A segmentation model may be provided for segmenting the anatomical structure. Association data may be obtained which associates a segmentation model part of the segmentation model with a mesh property, the segmentation model part representing a pre-determined anatomical region of interest. The segmentation model may be applied to a medical image of a subject, thereby obtaining a fitted model providing a segmentation of the anatomical structure. The finite element model may then be generated based on the fitted model and the association data, said generating comprising meshing a finite element model part of the finite element model in accordance with the mesh property, the finite element model part corresponding with the pre-determined anatomical region of interest. Advantageously, this may result in an efficient generation of the FE model needing fewer manual iterations and/or alterations in the model or in the mesh.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for determining illumination distributions (18) for IMRT. A layered graph structure is used, which considers which extensions of an illumination distribution along a respective line and thus which illumination distributions are realizable, for determining extensions for the illumination distributions. Moreover, second weights defining fluences of the illumination distributions are determined such that a deviation between a provided fluence map and a fluence map formed by a combination of illumination distributions, which are defined by the respective determined extensions and the respective second weight, is minimized. This determination procedure leads to illumination distributions, which very well correspond to the provided fluence map and which are automatically realizable by the radiation device. This leads to an improved IMRT, wherein a post-processing of the determined illumination distributions for ensuring that the determined illumination distributions are really realizable is not necessarily required.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for providing a synthetic representation of a vascular structure. It is described to provide (210) at least one 2D X-ray image comprising 2D X-ray image data of a vascular structure of a patient's body part is provided. A 3D model of the body part is provided (220), the 3D model comprising a 3D modelled vascular structure. A 2D projection of the 3D model of the body part is determined (230), the 2D projection of the 3D model of the body part comprising a 2D projection of the 3D modelled vascular structure. The 3D model of the body part is transformed (240). The transform of the 3D model of the body part comprises a determination of the pose of the 3D model of the body part such that a 2D projection of the 3D modelled vascular structure associated with the transformed 3D model of the body part is representative of the 2D X-ray image data of the vascular structure of the patient's body part. A medical report is generated (250) based on information determined from the 3D model.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for providing a patient specific 3D model of a body part. It is described to provide (210) at least one 2D X-ray image comprising 2D X-ray image data of a vascular structure of a patient's body part. A 3D model of the body part is provided (220), the 3D model comprising a 3D modelled vascular structure, wherein at least one parameter commands an appearance of the 3D modelled vascular structure. The 3D modelled vascular structure is confronted (230) with the 2D X-ray image data of the vascular structure to determine the at least one parameter. The 3D model is updated (240) as a function of the determined at least one parameter. A medical report is generated (250) based on information determined from the 3D model.
