    Abstract: An interventional instrument (16) is inserted into a patient (14) to perform an interventional medical procedure guided by a medical imaging device (10). A trigger control (26) is activated. An electronic data processing device (30) is programmed to operate the medical imaging device to: acquire and display video (50) of the interventional instrument (16) inserted into the patient; detect activation of the trigger control; in response to the detecting, process a video segment (54) of the acquired video to identify a trigger image (60) as a frame of the video segment capturing a medical intervention event performed by the interventional instrument and a location (62) of the medical intervention event in the identified trigger image; and display a still image of the identified trigger image with a superimposed marker (102) indicating the identified location of the medical intervention event.

    Abstract: A controller for qualifying image registration includes a memory that stores instructions; and a processor that executes the instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the controller to execute a process that includes receiving first imagery of a first modality and receiving second imagery of a second modality. The process executed by the controller also includes registering the first imagery of the first modality to the second imagery of the second modality to obtain an image registration. The image registration is subjected to an automated analysis as a qualifying process to qualify the image registration. The image registration is variably qualified when the image registration passes the qualifying process, and is not qualified when the image registration does not pass the qualifying process.

    Abstract: The following relates generally to image segmentation. In one aspect, an image is received and preprocessed. The image may then be classified as segmentable if it is ready for segmentation; if not, it may be classified as not segmentable. Multiple, parallel segmentation processes may be performed on the image. The result of each segmentation process may be marked as a potential success (PS) or a potential failure (PF). The results of the individual segmentation processes may be evaluated in stages. An overall failure may be declared if a percentage of the segmentation processes marked as PF reaches a predetermined threshold.
