20100076305 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR TARGETING OF A TARGET WITH AN ELONGATE INSTRUMENT - An embodiment is directed to a method and a system for assisting the targeting of a target with an elongate instrument, wherein the instrument is to be inserted into a living object's body part along a predetermined trajectory extending between an entry point of said instrument into said body part and a target point associated with said target. The method comprises an instrument directing assisting step for generating and displaying an image allowing a user to assess to which extend the longitudinal axis of the instrument is aligned with the vector connecting the target point and the tip portion of said instrument. Also, the method comprises an instrument guiding assisting step of generating and displaying an image allowing a user to assess to which extent the instrument motion during insertion thereof coincides with the predetermined trajectory. | 03-25-2010 |
20100232668 | Method, Computer Program And Workstation For Removing Undesirable Objects From A Digital Medical Image - A method of removing undesirable objects such as bones from a digital medical image is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, the method comprises the steps of generating a symbolic representation of the medical image, wherein said symbolic representation comprises a directed graph comprising vertices and edges, wherein each pixel or voxel of the digital medical image is associated with an edge of the graph, and wherein the root of said directed graph is not located within said undesirable object; electing, by user input, a site located within said undesirable object; determining a path in the symbolic representation, said path including the edge associated with said elected site and propagating towards the root of said directed graph; visualizing the part of the image associated with said determined path; identifying within said visualized part of the image the transition between the undesired object and the remainder of the image; and removing the part of the image associated with the branch of the graph rooted at said transition between the undesired object and the remainder of the image. | 09-16-2010 |

20130245461 | Visualization of Anatomical Data by Augmented Reality - A sensor means is employed to sense a distance to the surface of a subject to be examined, so that a range image may be acquired. Intensity information may be acquired alongside the distance information. The distance information and intensity information may be evaluated to track the pose of the sensor means relative to the surface of the subject to be examined, so that anatomical data related to said subject may be displayed as seen from the position and/or orientation of the sensor means or display means. By moving the sensor means or display means along the surface of the subject to be examined, such as a patient in a hospital environment, the user hence gets the impression of being able to look directly into the human body. | 09-19-2013 |
