20080215322 | Method and System for Generating Training Data for an Automatic Speech Recogniser - The invention describes a method and a system for generating training data (D | 09-04-2008 |
20080228686 | Knowledge-Based Input Region of Interest Definition for Pharmacokinetic Modeling - The present invention provides a system, apparatus, and method that are based on a priori knowledge of the shape of the input function for defining an input region-if-interest (ROI) in pharmacokinetic modeling. Kinetic parameter estimation requires knowledge of tracer input activity and the present invention provides an automatic way to define an ROI for estimation of an input function that takes into account a priori knowledge of the shape of the input function based on an administered dose. As a result of the application of the present invention to existing imaging analysis systems, there is a reduction in the amount of manual interaction needed and operator dependence is thereby reduced in the evaluation of dynamic procedures. | 09-18-2008 |

20090190810 | SEMIAUTOMATIC MYOCARDIAL REGION OF INTEREST DEFINITION - A method of identifying a myocardial region of interest in cardiac medical image data is disclosed. The method includes identifying myocardial tissue ( | 07-30-2009 |
20090208075 | ERROR ADAPTIVE FUNCTIONAL IIMAGING - A method for use in functional medical imaging includes adaptively partitioning functional imaging data as a function of a spatially varying error model. The functional image data is partitioned according to an optimization strategy. The data may be visualized or used to plan a course of treatment. In one implementation, the image data is partitioned so as to vary its spatial resolution. In another, the number of clusters is varied based on the error model. | 08-20-2009 |

20090292559 | MEDICAL WORKFLOW SYSTEMS AND METHODS WITH PROCESS WORKFLOW RECORDATION - A medical information processing and storage system includes a medical images database storing medical images and metadata relevant to the medical images. A processor is configured to perform post-acquisition image processing on medical images. A medical images archiver is configured to store a medical image in the medical images database after the medical image has been processed by the processor. The medical images archiver stores the medical image in the database with processing-descriptive metadata that is descriptive of the post-acquisition image processing performed on the medical image by the processor. | 11-26-2009 |
20090324035 | METHOD OF COMBINING BINARY CLUSTER MAPS INTO A SINGLE CLUSTER MAP - This invention relates to a method of combining multiple binary cluster maps into a single cluster map; where each respective binary cluster map represents characteristic information and the single cluster map represent the sum of the characteristic information. Initially, each respective binary cluster map is assigned with a reliability factor for indicating the reliability of the binary cluster map. These factor values are then used to determine a reliability vector comprising reliability factor elements, where each respective reliability factor element is associated to certain cluster map area in the single cluster map and indicates the reliability of cluster map are. In that way, the single cluster map can be viewed with respect to the reliability. | 12-31-2009 |

20120033865 | QUANTIFICATION OF MEDICAL IMAGE DATA - A system is provided for quantification of medical image data. First image obtaining means (1) are for obtaining a first image (A). Second image obtaining means (2) are for obtaining a second image (B). Spatial transformation obtaining means (3) are for obtaining spatial transformation information representing a correspondence between points in the first image and corresponding points in the second image. Identifying means (4) are for identifying a first image region (C) in the first image (A). Transforming means (5) are for transforming the first image region (C) into a corresponding second image region C′) in the second image (B) based on the spatial transformation information. Quantification means (6) are for computing a quantification relating to the second image region (C′) by accessing image values of the second image (B) within the second image region (C′). | 02-09-2012 |
