摘要:
Systems and methods for 2D3D registration of apply MR volumes and X-ray images using DRR techniques. A bone classifier is trained from co-registered UTE1, UTE2 and CT prior images. Dual-echo MR UTE1 and UTE2 images are acquired from a patient. The bone structure of the patient is classified and a labeled segmentation is generated. A DRR image is generated from the labeled segmentation and is registered with an X-ray image of the patient. The registration methods are implemented on a processor based system.

A method (100) that generates attenuation correction maps for the reconstruction of PET data using MR images, such as, MR ultra-fast TE (UTE) images, Dixon MR images, as well as MR images obtained using other MR imaging methods.
摘要:
A method for generating a pseudo-computed tomography (CT) image volume includes acquiring a first magnetic resonance (MR) image volume (UTE1) using an ultra-short echo time and acquiring a second MR image volume (UTE2) using a conventional echo time that is longer than the ultra-short echo time. The acquired UTE1 and UTE2 image volumes are normalized. A mask for an anatomical structure featured in the normalized UTE1 and UTE2 image volumes is created and bone regions are segmented from the normalized UTE1 and UTE2 image volumes using the created mask and one or more trained classifiers. A pseudo-CT image is constructed from the normalized UTE1 and UTE2 image volumes, the created mask, and the segmented bone regions.

摘要:
A method for automatic initialization of 2D to 3D image registration includes acquiring a 3D model. A plurality of shape descriptor features is calculated from the acquired 3D model representing a plurality of poses of the 3D model. A 2D image is acquired. The plurality of shape descriptors is matched to the acquired 2D model. An optimum pose of the 3D model is determined based on the matching of the plurality of shape descriptors to the acquired 2D model. An initial registration is generated, in an image processing system, between the 3D model and the 2D image based on the determined optimum pose.

摘要:
A method for performing motion compensation in a series of magnetic resonance (MR) images includes acquiring a set of MR image frames spanning different points along an MR recovery curve. A motion-free synthetic image is generated for each of the acquired MR image frames using prior knowledge pertaining to an MR recovery curve. Each of the acquired MR images is registered to its corresponding generated synthetic images. Motion within each of the acquired MR image is corrected based on its corresponding generated synthetic image that has been registered thereto.
