摘要： To improve the scanning effect, a scanning method is provided, which comprises the steps of performing at least one of an nCT scan and a CTA scan on an object so as to obtain a set of images; detecting characteristics of a region of interest based on the set of images; and performing a CTP scan on the region of interest by adopting the characteristics to obtain a CTP image. By deriving the characteristics of the region of interest, e.g. a lesion or an area covering the lesion, before performing the CTP scan, and by adapting the subsequent CTP scan based on the characteristics of the region of interest, the drawback introduced by a limited scan area of the CTP scanner is mitigated, or even overcome.

摘要： The invention relates to automatically adjusting an acquisition protocol for dynamic medical imaging, such as dynamic CT, MRI or PET imaging. The protocols are adjusted based on anatomic and dynamic models (10, 12, 14) which are individualized or fitted to each patient based on a scout scan (6, 8). The adjustment can compensate for changes in the patient due to patient motion (e.g. breathing or heartbeat) or flow of contrast or tracing agent during the sequence. This ensures that changes in the reconstructed images are indicative of pathological changes in the patient and not caused by patient motion or changes in scanning parameters or timing. The dynamic model can be a motion model (12) used to predict the motion of anatomic/physiologic features, typically organs, during scanning, or a haemodynamic model (14) used to predict flow of the contrast agent allowing for precise timing of the scanning sequence.

摘要： When treating a patient, clinical decision support system (CDSS) guidelines are employed to assist a physician in generating a treatment plan. These plans are generated using both imaging and non-imaging data. To accomplish this, the CDSS is interfaced with imaging systems (CADx, CAD, PACS etc.). A data-mining operation is performed to identify relevant patients with similar attributes such as diagnosis, medical history, treatment, etc from imaging and non-imaging data. Natural language processing is employed to extract and encode relevant non-imaging (textual) data from relevant patients' records. Additionally, an image of a current patient is compared to reference images in a patient database to identify relevant patients. Relevant patients are then identified to a user, and the user selects a relevant patient to view detailed information related to medical history, treatment, guidelines, efficacy, and the like.

摘要： A point-based elastic registration method for registering a first image and a second image. Initially, a single control point is randomly placed (S2) with the source image region and optimal parameter settings in respect thereof are determined (S3) for performing elastic deformation (S4) in respect of the first image so as to optimise a similarity measure. Additional control points are then added (S6) one-by-one, and the elastic deformation process repeated each time (S8) in respect of the new control point set, until a predetermined stopping criterion is met, e.g. the resultant improvement in the similarity measure no longer exceeds some predetermined threshold value. Thus, a high speed, high quality registration method is provided without having to specify the number of control points initially.
