Registration-based interpolation between images slices is provided. In various embodiments, a plurality of 2D images is read. Each of the plurality of 2D images represents a slice of a 3D volume. A plurality of annotations is read for a subset of the plurality of 2D images. The annotations comprise at least one anatomical label. 2D images lacking annotations are selected from the plurality of 2D images. The at least one anatomical label is propagated from the subset of the plurality of 2D images to the selected 2D images by deformable registration.

A projection image of a three dimensional image is generated and displayed and a three dimensional target point corresponding to a designated two-dimensional target point is set to the three dimensional image. A reference cross-section is set to the three dimensional image by using the three dimensional target point. A cross-sectional two-dimensional image of the reference cross-section in which an object close to a point of view that faces the reference cross-section is not displayed is generated. An instruction to change the position of the point of view, using the three dimensional target point based on the cross-sectional two-dimensional image as a reference point, in order to align an observation direction of a structure to which the three dimensional target point is set with a target three dimensional direction is received. A new reference cross-section is set. A new cross-sectional two-dimensional image of the new reference cross-section is generated.

Systems and methods for browsing images of points of interest (POIs) are provided. Indication of selection of POI from among multiple POIs is received. Image graph associated with POI is identified. Image graph includes multiple images of POI. Tour path for POI is defined within image graph. Specific image from tour path defined within image graph is provided for display. Previous image and next image relative to specific image along tour path defined within image graph are determined. First set of additional images from image graph based on specific image is determined. First set of additional images corresponds to set of images in image graph proximate to specific image. Link to previous image or next image, and link to each member of first set of additional images for display with specific image are provided.

摘要:
A system for computer-aided detection uses a computer-implemented network structure to analyze patterns present in digital image slices of a human body and to generate a three-dimensional anatomical model of a patient. The anatomical model is generated by detecting easily identifiable organs first and then using those organs as context objects to detect other organs. A user specifies membership functions that define which objects of the network structure belong to the various classes of human organs specified in a class hierarchy. A membership function of a potentially matching class determines whether a candidate object of the network structure belongs to the potential class based on the relation between a property of the voxels linked to the candidate object and a property of the context object. Some voxel properties used to classify an object are location, brightness and volume. The human organs are then measured to assist in the patient's diagnosis.

A user had to manually select a cross-sectional image indicating features of a finding and a cross-sectional image displayed in a report, from a three-dimensional medical image. Provided is an image processing apparatus that includes: a unit configured to acquire a target finding of a medical image; a unit configured to calculate an image feature quantity of a type associated in advance with the target finding, for each of a plurality of cross-sectional images of the medical image; and a unit configured to identify a cross-sectional image from the plurality of cross-sectional images based on the calculated image feature quantity. Operation of selecting a cross-sectional image by a doctor can be omitted, and the burden can be reduced.
摘要:
A technique is disclosed for generating a new contour and/or a 3D surface such as a variational implicit surface from contour data. In one embodiment, B-spline interpolation is used to efficiently generate a new contour (preferably a transverse contour), from a plurality of input contours (preferably, sagittal and/or coronal contours). In another embodiment, a point reduction operation is performed on data sets corresponding to any combination of transverse, sagittal, or coronal contour data prior to processing those data sets to generate a 3D surface such as a variational implicit surface. A new contour can also be generated by the intersection of this surface with an appropriately placed and oriented plane. In this manner, the computation of the variational implicit surface becomes sufficiently efficient to make its use for new contour generation practical.
摘要:
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a system for image processing including a database, an image processor, and a display. The database includes a plurality of image slices. Each image slice in the plurality of image slices is based at least in part on an object. The image processor is adapted to generate a display image. The display image includes a selected image slice rendered about perpendicular to a localizer image. The selected image slice is selected from the plurality of image slices. The display is adapted to display the display image.
摘要:
A plurality of sets of volume data obtained by imaging a subject on different imaging dates or different imaging times are analyzed, to calculate at least one type of index value that represents the state of the subject within each set of volume data. Transition data that represent transitions in the index values are generated for each type of index value, based on the calculated index values. At least one subject map that includes a region in which transitions are detected is generated. Specified data from among the calculated index values and the generated transition data are correlated with regions within each subject map where transitions are detected, and output to a predetermined screen.
