A system and method for patient-specific coronary territory mapping are provided, the system including an adapter unit for receiving three-dimensional (“3D”) image data, a modeling unit in signal communication with the adapter unit for fitting a geometric model to the received data and segmenting coronary vessels from the received data, and a mapping unit in signal communication with the modeling unit for mapping the segmented vessels to the surface of the model; and the method including receiving 3D image data, fitting a geometric model to the received data, segmenting coronary vessels from the received data, and mapping the segmented vessels to the surface of the model.
摘要:
A turbocharger (10) with a cross flow turbine (30) where exhaust gas passes through a cross flow turbine wheel (18) on its outer diameter. A cross flow turbine (30) has radial exhaust gas inlet and outlet. Cross flow turbines (30) are suited for variable turbine geometry, including with a single guide vane (44) or multiple guide vanes in the turbine inlet (34) to control variable flow and thus performance of the turbine stage. Cross flow turbines (30) allow reduced size and excellent packaging options, such as a single or dual cross flow turbine wheel (18) between two compressor wheels (12).

A method for volume rendering a digitized medical image includes providing a digitized medical image volume comprising a plurality of intensities on a 3-dimensional grid of points, providing a projection plane comprising a 2-dimensional lattice of points onto which rendering rays are projected from a viewing point through the image volume, advancing a sampling point along a ray through the image volume, generating an incision region within the image volume, determining whether the sampling point is within the incision region, where a first transfer function is applied to a sample value interpolated from a first volume if the sampling point is within the incision region, and a second transfer function is applied to a sample value interpolated from a second volume if the sampling point is outside the incision region, and accumulating the output of the transfer function.

To make optimum use of an x-ray image recording system with an x-ray C-arm, which has an x-ray radiation source and an x-ray detector and can be pivoted about any axis, 2D axis lines are plotted in two x-ray images of an object to be imaged more precisely and these 2D axis lines are used to define a 3D axis line and the x-ray image recording system is set so that it can be directly pivoted precisely about this 3D axis line. A sequence of x-ray images is then recorded in positions of the x-ray C-arm, between which the same can be pivoted about this defined axis. This displays the object optimally.

A method for multi-planar reconstruction of digitized medical images includes providing an image volume, sampling the neighborhood about each point in a planar region and saving a color value and a depth, providing a projection plane onto which rendering rays are projected from a viewing point through said image volume, advancing sampling points along rays through the image volume, computing depths of each sampling point, determining for sampling points on rays that penetrates the planar region if a depth of said sampling point is less than the buffer depth of a corresponding point in the planar region and sampling neighborhoods of points about such sampling points, determining if sampling points are near said planar region, applying first transfer function to sample values interpolated from first volume for sampling points close to or inside the planar region, and otherwise applying second transfer function to sample values interpolated from second volume.
摘要:
A method for implementing per-use licensing for image processing software includes acquiring image data from an image scanner. Processed image data is calculated from the image data using an image processing module. The processed image data is exported. The use of the image processing module is logged in an accounting database when the processed data are exported. Access to the accounting database is provided for account settlement.
