    摘要: A method includes displaying an iconic image of the human body and a list of predetermined anatomical regions. The method further includes displaying, in response to a user selected anatomical region, a scan box over a sub-portion of the iconic image. The method further includes receiving an input indicative of at least one of a scan box location of interest or a scan box geometry of interest, with respect to the anatomical region, of the first user. The method further includes at least one of re-locating or changing a geometry of the first initial scan box, in response thereto, creating a first user defined scan box for the first user. The method further includes creating a first transformation between a first template image representative of the selected anatomical region and the iconic image with the first user defined scan box for the first user, and storing the first transformation.

    摘要: The appropriate positioning of a patient in an X-Ray imaging system can present difficulties for medical professional owing, on one hand to the small size of important anatomical aspects which need to be captured in X-Ray images, and on the other hand to the significant movements in a field of view presented by a typical patient. The present application proposes to obtain an image of the position of a patient in the field of view at approximately the same time that an initial X-Ray image is obtained. If it proves necessary to obtain a subsequent X-Ray image with updated field of view settings (for example, collimation parameters), the movement of the patient at the point of taking the second image is factored into the provision of updated field of view settings.

    摘要: The present invention relates to medical image editing. In order to facilitate the medical image editing process, a medical image editing device (50) is provided that comprises a processor unit (52), an output unit (54), and an interface unit (56). The processor unit (52) is configured to provide a 3D surface model of an anatomical structure of an object of interest. The 3D surface model comprises a plurality of surface sub-portions. The surface sub-portions each comprise a number of vertices, and each vertex is assigned by a ranking value. The processor unit (52) is further configured to identify at least one vertex of vertices adjacent to the determined point of interest as an intended vertex. The identification is based on a function of a detected proximity distance to the point of interest and the assigned ranking value. The output unit (54) is configured to provide a visual presentation of the 3D surface model. The interface unit (56) is configured to determine a point of interest in the visual presentation of the 3D surface model by interaction of a user. The interface unit 56 is further configured to modify the 3D surface model by displacing the intended vertex by manual user interaction. In an example, the output unit (54) is a display configured to display the 3D surface model directly to the user (58).

    摘要: A system and method are provided for interactive editing of a mesh which has been applied to a three-dimensional (3D) image to segment an anatomical structure shown therein. To facilitate the interactive editing of the applied mesh, a view of the 3D image is generated which shows a mesh part to be edited, with the view being established based on a local orientation of the mesh part. Advantageously, the view may be generated to be substantially orthogonally to the mesh part, or to a centerline of the anatomical structure which is determined as a function of the mesh part. Accordingly, an orthogonal view is established which facilitates the user in carrying out the editing action with respect to the mesh part. It is therefore not needed for the user to manually navigate through the 3D image to obtain a view which is suitable for mesh editing, which is typically time consuming.

    摘要: A method includes determining a registration transform between first three dimensional pre-scan image data and second three dimensional pre-scan image data based on a predetermined registration algorithm. The method further includes registering first volumetric scan image data and second volumetric scan image data based on the registration transform. The method further includes generating registered image data. A system (100) includes a pre-scan registerer (122) that determines a registration transform between first three dimensional pre-scan image data and second three dimensional pre-scan image data based on a predetermined registration algorithm. The system further includes a volume registerer (126) that registers first volumetric scan image data and second volumetric scan image data based on the registration transform, generating registered image data.
