    摘要: A method for automatically detecting the presence of contrast in an x-ray image includes acquiring an x-ray image prior to administration of contrast. A background image is estimated based on the x-ray image. The contrast is administered. A set of x-ray images is acquired. The background image is subtracted from the set of images. Image intensity is determined for each of the subtracted images. The subtracted images having highest image intensity are selected. A predefined shape model is fitted to the selected subtracted images. The fitting of the predefined shape model is used to fit the shape model to each of the subtracted images. A feature value is calculated for each image frame based on pixel intensities of each pixel fitted to the shape model for the corresponding subtracted image. An image frame of peak contrast is determined by selecting the image frame with the greatest feature value.

    摘要: A method that includes generating a contrast feature curve for a medical image sequence including a plurality of frames, where the contrast feature curve represents contrast feature values of the frames. The method further includes detecting a peak in the contrast feature curve, and determining whether the peak corresponds to at least one of contrast injection in an aortic root, contrast injection in a balloon, and a non-contrast injected region.

    摘要: A method for guiding transcatheter aortic valve implantations includes receiving an interventional 3D image of an aortic root reconstructed from a sequence of 2D images acquired from a C-arm computed tomography (CT) system being rotated about a patient through a predetermined number of degrees, segmenting the aortic root and detecting aortic root landmarks in the 3D image, where the aortic root landmarks include three lowest points of aortic root cusps, two coronary artery ostia, and three commissures points where the cusps meet, cropping an area inside the segmented aortic root out of the 3D volume for volume rendering, centering the 3D image on an intersection of two orthogonal planes, each containing the two detected coronary ostia, that are orthogonal to a plane spanned by three lowest points of the aortic root cusps, and volume rendering the 3D cropped aortic root image together with the detected landmarks onto a 2D image.

    摘要: A method for fusing 2D fluoroscopic images with 2D angiographic images for real-time interventional procedure guidance includes using a 2-dimensional angiographic image to detect injection of a contrast agent into an anatomical structure, where the contrast agent first appears in a detected image frame, subtracting a background image from the detected image frame and binarizing the subtracted image frame to segment the anatomical structure from the subtracted image frame, registering the segmented anatomical structure with a predefined shape model of the anatomical structure to generate an anatomical mask, generating an anatomical probability map from the anatomical mask using intensity information from the subtracted image frame, where the anatomical probability map expresses a probability of a pixel in the subtracted image frame belonging to the anatomical structure, and fusing the angiographic image with one or more subsequently acquired 2-dimensional fluoroscopic images of the anatomical structure using the anatomical probability map.
