    摘要: When delineating anatomical structures in a medical image of a patient for radiotherapy planning, a processor (18) detects landmarks (24) in a low-resolution image (e.g., MRI or low-dose CT) and maps the detected landmarks to reference landmarks (28) in a reference contour of the anatomical structure. The mapped landmarks facilitate adjusting the reference contour to fit the anatomical structure. The adjusted reference contour data is transformed and applied to a second image using a thin-plate spline, and the adjusted high-resolution image is used for radiotherapy planning.

    摘要: In a diagnostic imaging system (10), a user interface (82) facilitates viewing of 4D kinematic data sets. A set of reference points is selected in a first 3D image to designate an anatomical component. An algorithm (104) calculates a propagation of the selected reference points from the first 3D image into other 3D images. Transforms which describe the propagation of the reference points between 3D images are defined. An aligning algorithm (112) applies inverse of the transforms to the 3D images to define a series of frames for the video processor (120) to display, in which frames the designated anatomical component defined by the reference points in each of the 3D images remains fixed while the other portions of the anatomical region of interest move relative to the fixed designated anatomical component.

    摘要: When adapting models of anatomical structures in a patient for diagnosis or therapeutic planning, an atlas (26) of predesigned anatomical structure models or image volumes can be accessed, and a segmentation of one or more such structures can be selected and overlaid on an a 3D image of corresponding structure(s) in a clinical image (52) of a patient. A user can click on an initially unapproved segmentation 5 landmark (72) on the patient image (52), reposition the unapproved landmark, and approve the repositioned landmark. Remaining unapproved landmarks (72) are then repositioned as a function of the position of the approved landmark (92) using one or more interpolation techniques to adapt the model to the patient image on the fly.

    摘要: The invention relates to a registration method (100) of registering a second image dataset with a first image dataset on the basis of a set of landmarks, said registration method (100) comprising a weight-assigning step (125) for assigning a weight to each coordinate of each landmark from the set of landmarks and a registering step (145) for registering the second image dataset with the first image dataset on the basis of the weight assigned to the each coordinate. Choosing an appropriate set of landmarks and assigning an appropriate weight to each coordinate of each landmark from the set of landmarks can be used for optimizing selected displacements of a designated anatomical structure comprising elastic bodies and/or a plurality of independent rigid bodies in a sequence of image datasets. This enables rendering a sequence of views wherein the designated anatomical structure is not displaced off a viewing plane and/or a selected part of the designated anatomical structure is not displaced in a viewing plane.

    摘要: The invention relates to a system (100) for registering an atlas image from an atlas of multidimensional images with an objective image, the system comprising a generation unit (105) for generating a candidate transformation for transforming a first region of the atlas image, a transformation unit (110) for transforming the first region of the atlas image using the candidate transformation, a similarity unit (120) for computing a measure of similarity of the transformed first region of the atlas image and a corresponding first region of the objective image, an evaluation unit (130) for evaluating the candidate transformation using a criterion based on the computed measure of similarity and determining an optimal transformation based on the evaluation of the candidate transformation, an extension unit (140) for extending the optimal transformation of the first region of the atlas image to a second region of the atlas image, wherein the second region comprises the first region, thereby creating a registration transformation and a registration unit (150) for transforming the second region using the registration transformation, thereby registering the atlas image with the objective image. Advantageously, the system (100) does not require setting landmark positions in the objective image. A further advantage of the system (100) is that since the similarity measure is computed locally, i.e., based on the first region of the atlas image, the registration is fast and thus attractive for clinical use.

    摘要: The present invention aims at improving the point-based elastic registration paradigm. According to the present invention, a force field, for example, with Gaussian-shaped forces, is applied at several points to the image to be deformed. In this case, no landmark correspondences are required and the optimal positions of the force application point are found automatically, which minimizes the difference between the source and target image. Advantageously, this may allow to control a local influence of individual control points.
