摘要:
A system for handling a specimen image is disclosed. An image input (1) is configured to receive a body image representing at least a portion of a living body and a specimen image representing a dissected portion of the living body. An alignment unit (2) is configured to compute an alignment of the specimen image with the body image, based on image content of the specimen image and/or the body image. A border detector (3) is operatively connected to the alignment unit (2) and configured to detect at least part of an outer border of the dissected portion in the specimen image.
摘要:
A system for displaying a plurality of registered images is disclosed. A first viewport unit (1) displays a representation of a first image dataset (4) in a first viewport (201). A second viewport unit (2) displays a representation of a second image dataset (5) in a second viewport (202). A position indication unit (7) enables a user to indicate a position in the first dataset (4) displayed in the first viewport (201), to obtain a user-indicated position. A corresponding position determining unit (8) determines a position in the second image dataset (5) corresponding to the user-indicated position, to obtain a corresponding position in the second image dataset (5), based on correspondence information (9) mapping positions in the first image dataset (4) to corresponding positions in the second image dataset (5). The second viewport unit (2) displays an indication of the corresponding position in the second viewport (202).

摘要:
This invention relates to a method and image processing apparatus for automatically correcting mis-orientation of medical images. One or more image processing software modules are used to extract (101) anatomical areas from the medical images. It is determined (103) whether the extracted anatomical areas correspond to reference anatomical areas, but the reference anatomical areas have associated thereto data indicating the orientation of the reference anatomical areas. If the extracted anatomical areas correspond with the reference anatomical areas, the true orientation of the extracted anatomical areas is determined (105) by realigning the medical image until the orientation of the extracted anatomical areas corresponds to the orientation of the reference anatomical areas.

摘要:
When characterizing a tumor or lesion as malignant or benign, a system (10) receives an image of the lesion volume (50), employs a processor (12) to perform a raw segmentation of the image, the results of which are stored to memory (14). Then processor then executes a hole-filling procedure to fill in dark areas in the image of the lesion representing necrotic tissue that absorbed little or no contrast agent, and optionally a leakage removal procedure to remove image voxels associated with non-lesion tissue, e.g., blood vessels, in which the contrast agent was present during imaging, to generate a complete lesion volume. A voxel analyzer (18) assesses a number of voxels included in the raw segmentation of the lesion image, and the final segmentation (e.g., after filling and optional leakage removal). A segmentation comparator (20) computes a ratio of dark area voxels related to necrotic tissue detected after the raw segmentation to total voxels detected in the final image segmentation. The ratio is then used to determine a likelihood of malignancy, with a higher ratio indicating a higher likelihood.
