Abstract:
A method of providing information for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) includes: performing an imaging of a patient by executing a sequence including a plurality of protocols; and providing, to the patient, threshold related information about a motion of the patient which corresponds to a currently executed protocol, of the plurality of protocols.
Abstract:
A method of processing a medical image signal includes estimating first time courses and first spatial patterns for a group of objects from first brain function data for the group, and estimating second time courses and second spatial patterns for a target object from second brain function data obtained from the target object by using the first time courses and the first spatial patterns.
Abstract:
A method of obtaining fiber structure information of a nerve fiber in an object by using an MRI system includes: obtaining image information of voxels of the object; setting a tracking start area including at least one voxel of the object; setting at least one voxel adjacent to the tracking start area as a tracking processing area; determining a similarity between image information of a voxel included in the set tracking processing area and a voxel included in the tracking start area; and obtaining the fiber structure information according to the determined similarity.
Abstract:
A method for displaying a medical image includes: displaying a slide bar including a speed adjustment button; receiving a selection input and a drag input for the speed adjustment button from a user; determining a search direction and a search speed for the medical images based on the drag input; and searching for all or some of the medical images according to the determined search direction and search speed, and displaying the medical images which have been searched for.
Abstract:
A method for selecting a seed area for tracking nerve fibers in a brain includes performing registration of an atlas which shows a plurality of areas which are included in the brain and image data which relates to the brain, displaying a brain area list with respect to the plurality of areas, selecting a first area from the atlas based on a first user input with respect to the brain area list, extracting an area of the image data which corresponds to the first area, as a seed area, based on a result of the registration, and generating a first image which corresponds to the seed area from the image data, and displaying the generated first image.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus map image information of a target object onto an interface of the target object in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The method includes obtaining the image information of the target object in a predetermined direction from the outside of the target object to the inside of the target object, analyzing the obtained image information, extracting one piece of the obtained image information based on the analysis result, and allotting the extracted image information onto the interface of the target object.
Abstract:
A method of displaying medical images includes displaying a medical image list on a display; changing a size of a first medical image included in the medical image list according to a user input; changing respective sizes of medical images other than the first medical image in the medical image list according to the changed size of the first medical image; determining a layout of the medical image list according to the changed size of the first medical image and a size of the display; and aligning the medical image list according to the determined layout.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method for arranging medical image sets and a medical apparatus configured to implement the method. The method includes displaying a plurality of medical image sets, receiving a selection of a first medical image set from among the plurality of medical image sets, receiving a user input that facilitates a movement of the selected first medical image set to a region in which a second medical image set is displayed, and changing an arrangement of the plurality of medical image sets based on the user input.
Abstract:
A method generates a magnetic resonance (MR) spectrum by obtaining an MR echo signal from an object in response to a transmitted radio frequency (RF) signal that is emitted towards the object. The method extracts from the MR signal, a plurality of signals corresponding to a plurality of frequency ranges and adjusts a phase of at least one of the extracted plurality of signals in a time domain. A combination signal is generated by combining the plurality of signals including the at least one extracted phase adjusted signal and generates an MR spectrum of the object in response to the combination signal.
Abstract:
A method of providing medical imaging guidance information for use in operating a medical imaging apparatus detects motion of an examinee placed on a support table positioned for imaging by a medical imaging device. The method compares a level of the detected motion with a predetermined threshold value and adaptively selects and provides guidance information enabling reducing impairment of image quality due to examinee physical motion, in response to the comparison.
