Abstract: The invention provides for a method for switching between fields of view of an ultrasound probe. The method begins by obtaining an anatomical model representing a region of interest of a subject and establishing a first field of view relative to an ultrasonic probe, wherein the first field of view comprises an initial portion of the region of interest. Ultrasound data is then obtained from the first field of view by way of the ultrasonic probe and a first anatomical feature is identified within the first field of view based on the ultrasound data. A location in digital space of the first field of view relative to the anatomical model is determined based on the first anatomical feature. A second field of view is then established based on the anatomical model and the first field of view, wherein the first field of view functions as a reference field of view. The field of view is then switched from the first field of view to the second field of view.

Abstract: A method is provided for generating an ultrasound image of an anatomical region having a volume. First image low resolution image data is enhanced by adapting a 3D anatomical model to the image data to generate a second, greater, quantity of ultrasound image data in respect of the anatomical region. The enhanced volumetric information is then displayed. An anatomical model is thus used to complete partial image data thereby increasing the image resolution, so that a high resolution volumetric image can be displayed with a reduced image capture time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for segmenting MR Dixon image data. A processor and a computer program product are also disclosed for use in connection with the method. The invention finds application in the MR imaging field in general and more specifically may be used in the generation of an attenuation map to correct for attenuation by cortical bone during the reconstruction of PET images. In the method, a surface mesh is adapted to a region of interest by: for each mesh element in the surface mesh: selecting a water target position based on a water image feature response in the MR Dixon water image;selecting a fat target position based on a fat image feature response in the MR Dixon fat image; and displacing each mesh element from its current position to a new position based on both its water target position and its corresponding fat target position.

Abstract: A method is provided for adapting a 3D field of view (FOV) in ultrasound data acquisition so as to minimize the FOV volume in a manner that is controlled and precise. The method comprises defining a volumetric region across which 3D ultrasound data is desired, and then adapting the data acquisition field of view (FOV) in dependence upon the defined volumetric region, to encompass the region. This is achieved based on adapting a scan line length (or scan depth) of each individual scan line based on the defined volumetric region. In some embodiments, the volumetric region may be defined based on anatomical segmentation of a reference ultrasound dataset acquired in an initial step, and setting the volumetric region in dependence upon boundaries of an identified object of interest. The volumetric region may in a subset of embodiments be set as the region occupied by a detected anatomical object of interest.

Abstract: A mechanism for generating information usable for identifying a risk of arrhythmia. A plurality of heart models are constructed from medical imaging data of a subject's heart, each heart model being defined by a set of different values for one or more modifiable properties. The modifiable properties are those used in the generation of the heart model or in the definition of the heart model, and influence or affect simulation results using the heart model. Each heart model undergoes a plurality of simulations, each simulation being a simulation of a response of the heart model to a (simulated) stimulation of electricity at a different pacing location of the heart. Output data is generated containing indicators of all simulation results.
