    Abstract: The invention relates to an imaging apparatus for imaging an object. A geometric relation determination unit (10) determines a geometric relation between first and second images of the object, wherein a marker determination unit (14) determines corresponding marker locations in the first and second images and marker appearances based on the geometric relation such that the marker appearances of a first marker to be located at a first location in the first image and of a second marker to be located at a second corresponding location in the second image are indicative of the geometric relation. The images with the markers at the respective corresponding locations are shown on a display unit (16). Since the marker appearances are indicative of the geometric relation between the images, a comparative reviewing of the images can be facilitated, in particular, if they correspond to different viewing geometries.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for interactive editing of a mesh which has been applied to a three-dimensional (3D) image to segment an anatomical structure shown therein. To facilitate the interactive editing of the applied mesh, a view of the 3D image is generated which shows a mesh part to be edited, with the view being established based on a local orientation of the mesh part. Advantageously, the view may be generated to be substantially orthogonally to the mesh part, or to a centerline of the anatomical structure which is determined as a function of the mesh part. Accordingly, an orthogonal view is established which facilitates the user in carrying out the editing action with respect to the mesh part. It is therefore not needed for the user to manually navigate through the 3D image to obtain a view which is suitable for mesh editing, which is typically time consuming.

    Abstract: The invention relates ultrasound assistance device (20), an ultrasound device including such ultrasound assistance device, a medical system (100) including the same and a corresponding method as well as to a corresponding software product. According to the present invention, a segmentation of first image data (e.g. MRI data) and deformation information is obtained, while the deformation information may be obtained explicitly or implicitly (e.g. from general information of the equipment used and/or from the first image data / the segmentation of the first image data). Such deformation information is used for adjustment (e.g. automatic adjustment or guided adjustment including feedback to a user) for an adjustable ultrasound probe (30, 30'), while the ultrasound image acquired by such adjusted ultrasound probe is then segmented using the segmentation of the first image data.

    Abstract: An ultrasound system is disclosed comprising an ultrasound transducer array (100) comprising a plurality of ultrasound transducer cells (130), each of said cell having an independently adjustable position and/or orientation such as to conform an ultrasound transmitting surface of the cell to a region of a body and a controller (140). The controller is configured to register the respective ultrasound transducer cells by simultaneously operating at least two ultrasound transducer cells in a transmit mode in which the cells transmit distinguishable ultrasound signals and operating the remaining ultrasound transducer cells in a receive mode. The controller extracts time-of-flight information of the respective ultrasound signals between transmitter and receiver and by systematically selecting different ultrasound transducer cells as transmitters, the controller collects sufficient time-of-flight information from which the respective position and/or relative orientation of the ultrasound transducer cells within the ultrasound transducer array may be derived. A method for operating the ultrasound system in this manner as well as a computer program product is also disclosed.
