    摘要: A computerized method for tracking of a 3D structure in a 3D image including a plurality of sequential image frames, one of which is a current image frame, includes representing the 3D structure being tracked with a parametric model with parameters for local shape deformations. A predicted state vector is created for the parametric model using a kinematic model. The parametric model is deformed using the predicted state vector, and a plurality of actual points for the 3D structure is determined using a current frame of the 3D image, and displacement values and a measurement vectors are determined using differences between the plurality of actual points and the plurality of predicted points. The displacement values and the measurement vectors are filtered to generate an updated state vector and an updated covariance matrix, and an updated parametric model is generated for the current image frame using the updated state vector.

    摘要: A method for performing a volume rendering of an image uses a computer having a processor, memory, and a display. The method includes globally segmenting image data that represents an image to thereby locate boundaries in the image, determining regional opacity functions using the image data in a vicinity of the boundaries, and volume rendering the image data utilizing the regional opacity functions to display an image. The method provides a presentation of improved images of structures. These improved images are obtained using a regional optimization of the opacity function such that the perceived object boundary coincides more closely with a segmented boundary.

    摘要: A method is provided for improving a segmentation of a 3D image and/or validating a segmentation of a 3D image includes rendering an acquired 3D image and a segmentation of the acquired 3D image on a segmentation display that has at least one spatially fixed slice and an interactive slice with a reference mark corresponding to the cursor location in the spatially fixed slice or slices on the display. The method further includes utilizing an interactive user input to update image data of the interactive slice and the reference mark to coincide with the cursor in the spatially fixed slice or slices. The method further includes using the cursor and the reference mark to verify that cursor locations on the boundaries of the segmentation of the acquired 3D image correspond to object boundaries in the image data of the interactive slice.
