    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for segmenting an image of a subject (36), comprising a data interface for receiving an image of said subject (36), said image depicting a structure of said subject (36), a translation unit for translating a user-initiated motion of an image positioner means into a first contour (38) surrounding said structure, a motion parameter registering unit for registering a motion parameter of said user-initiated motion to said first contour (38), said motion parameter comprising a speed and/or an acceleration of said image positioner means, an image control point unit for distributing a plurality of image control points (40) on said first contour with a density decreasing with said motion parameter, and a segmentation unit for segmenting said image by determining a second contour (44) within said first contour based on said plurality of image control points (40), said segmentation unit being configured to use one or more segmentation functions.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a single training image from a set of training images in a data repository. The method further includes generating an initial tissue class atlas based on the obtained single training image. The initial tissue class atlas includes two or more different tissue class images corresponding to two or more different tissue classes. The method further includes registering the remaining training images of the set of training images to the initial tissue class atlas. The method further includes generating a quality metric for each of the registered images. The method further includes evaluating the quality metric of each of the registered image with a predetermined evaluation criterion. The method further includes identifying a sub-set of images from the set of training images that satisfy the evaluation criterion. The method further includes generating a subsequent tissue class atlas based on the identified sub-set of the set of training images.

    Abstract: For delivering an image-guided radiation therapy treatment to a moving structure included in a region of a patient body a series of first images of the region of the patient body in different phases of a motion of the structure is acquired in accordance with a first imaging mode. The series of first images is associated with a series of second images of the patient body in essentially the same phases of the motion of the target structure, the second images being acquired in a second imaging mode. During the treatment, a third image is acquired using the second imaging mode during the radiation therapy treatment and a continuation of the radiation therapy treatment is planned on the basis of data relating to one of the first images selected on the basis of a comparison between the third image and the second images associated with the first images.

    Abstract: The invention provides a method for making anatomical measurements using a captured ultrasound image representative of the anatomical region of interest. The method comprises receiving (20) data representative of a set of points selected by a user within the image and interpreting from the points a particular anatomical measurement type which the user is intending to perform. In particular, the points are processed to identify (24) a pattern or other geometrical characteristic of the points, and the location (22) of at least one of the points within the image is also identified. These two characteristics are used to identify from the set of points which measurement the operator is performing. Once the measurement is identified, an appropriate measurement template (26) is selected and applied in order to derive (30) from the set of points an anatomical measurement.
