Abstract:
Provided is an ultrasonic imaging apparatus including an ultrasonic probe configured to receive a first ultrasonic signal and a second ultrasonic signal corresponding an object; and an image processor configured to obtain second ultrasonic volume data based on the second ultrasonic signal and relationship information between first information and second information, configured to apply the relationship information to the second ultrasonic volume data and configured to obtain a second ultrasonic cross-sectional image from the second ultrasonic volume data based on the relationship information, where the first information comprises a first position and a first direction corresponding to a position and a direction of the ultrasonic probe receiving the first ultrasonic signal and the second information comprises a second position and a second direction corresponding to a position and a direction of the ultrasonic probe receiving the second ultrasonic signal.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) space interface apparatus and method are provided. The 3D space interface apparatus provides an interface in which a user may directly touch and transform a 3D virtual object of a 3D space, which is shown in various ways depending on a position of the user. The 3D space interface apparatus may provide for manipulation of the 3D virtual object by the user using a sensing signal that senses the position and movement of a manipulation object the user. Specifically, an interface unit of the apparatus verifies, using the sensing signal, whether a predetermined movement of the manipulation object has occurred or whether a contact between the 3D virtual object and the manipulation object has been made, and generates a predetermined reaction corresponding to the predetermined movement or the contact.
Abstract:
There are provided an image processing apparatus for registering medical images having different modalities and a method for controlling the same. A reference location is designated in advance, a pre-designated cross-sectional image of an object is used, a corresponding location is extracted, and then image registration is performed. The image processing apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment includes a communication unit configured to receive a first medical image and a second medical image having a different modality from the first medical image of an object from a first medical apparatus and a second medical apparatus, respectively; and an image processing unit configured to extract a pre-designated cross-sectional image from the second medical image, extract a location corresponding to a reference location of the object from the extracted cross-sectional image, and perform registration of the second medical image and the first medical image corresponding to the extracted cross-sectional image.
Abstract:
There are provided a medical imaging apparatus and a method for controlling a medical imaging apparatus. The medical imaging apparatus includes an image registering unit configured to register a pre-imaged medical image with respect to an object based on a first reference point included in the pre-imaged medical image and a second reference point of the object; a location detecting unit configured to detect a user's movement based on the second reference point; and a user interface configured to display a pre-imaged medical image corresponding to the detected movement of the user.
Abstract:
Provided is a mobile terminal having a sensor detecting movement thereof and an event processing method. The mobile terminal includes: an orientation detector for monitoring, in response to detection of an event, movement of the mobile terminal for a preset time duration to identify an orientation of the mobile terminal; and a controller for processing the event in an operating mode corresponding to the identified orientation. As a result, the user can readily switch operating modes of the mobile terminal by changing orientations thereof.
Abstract:
The medical imaging apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store a patient adaptive object model in which a statistical object model related to transformation of an object caused by a periodic movement is applied to characteristics of the object of a target patient; an image obtainer configured to acquire a first image of the target patient; and an image fuser configured to transform a second image of the target patient based on differences between a shape of the object extracted from the patient adaptive object model and a shape of the object displayed on the first image.
Abstract:
An ultrasound imaging apparatus includes an image generator configured to scan an object to obtain an ultrasound image; a neural network configured to generate a virtual ultrasound image based on matching medical images of different modalities; an image converting part configured to convert a medical image of a different modality, previously obtained by scanning the object, into the virtual ultrasound image by using the neural network; and a matching part configured to determine a position of a virtual probe based on the ultrasound image and the virtual ultrasound image, and configured to match the ultrasound image with the medical image that corresponds to the determined position of the virtual probe.
