| 20100214293 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USER INTERATION IN DATA-DRIVEN MESH GENERATION FOR PARAMETER RECONSTRUCTION FROM IMAGING DATA - A system and method for iterative reconstruction with user interaction in data-driven, adaptive mesh generation for reconstruction of model parameters from imaging data is disclosed. The method includes reading input ( | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100232662 | METHOD TO INDIVIDUALIZE KINETIC PARAMETER ESTIMATON FOR DYNAMIC MOLECULAR IMAGING PROCEDURES - A method within dynamic molecular imaging comprising dynamically estimating a first parameter (β(x)) and a second parameter (k(x)) of an activity function describing the bio distribution of an administered tracer, is disclosed. More specifically, the method comprises specifying a first target variance (σ | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100241359 | ESTIMATION OF DIAGNOSTIC MARKERS - The invention relates to a method for estimating concentrations or concentration changes of particular biological markers, e.g. proteins. The estimations are performed by providing a mathematical model with data from measurements of other biological markers, e.g. other proteins. Thus, instead of measuring those particular proteins they can be estimated using the model. The estimated proteins can be used together with other clinical data in another model which is able to provide information or estimations of, for example, a patient's disease. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20080279476 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN IMAGE AND SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING AN IMAGE - According to an exemplary embodiment a method for producing an image of a physical object comprises receiving a plurality of raw images, dividing the plurality of raw images into a first subset of primary images and a second subset of secondary images according to a predetermined criterion. From the first subset of primary images an intermediate image is determined while from the second subset of secondary images a mask image is determined. Afterwards a registration of the intermediate image and the mask image is performed by using direct registration of predetermined features present in the intermediate image and the mask image and fused image of the physical object is generated out of the mask image and the intermediate image. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090003527 | Indication of Patient Skin Dose in Radiology - The field of the invention is diagnostic and interventional radiology and the invention is a dose indicator for use in a system for performing radiological procedures using ionizing radiation, for indicating a dose of radiation received in an area of skin by a subject during the radiological procedure, in which a zone is displayed which is representative of the extent of the area of skin exposed, and in which is a value of dose is displayed which is associated with the zone. The value of dose is representative of the dose of radiation received in the area of skin exposed during the procedure. The display is easily and quickly understood allowing the user of the system to swiftly understand the skin dose accrued by the patient. The use of zones provides an intuitive display. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20100209012 | METHOD OF ENHANCEMENT OF MOVING STRUCTURE USING DOUBLE-WARPING - A method for enhancing a moving structure of interest in a sequence of images is described, wherein images of the sequence are captured at different times and defined by a matrix of discrete pixels. The method comprises the steps of warping the data representative of pixels defining the images I(t) by using the data representative of the displacements V(t→to) to obtain data representative of pixels defining a second sequence of images A (t), applying an enhancement operation to images of the second sequence A (t) to obtain data representative of pixels defining a third sequence of images B(t), selecting data representative if pixels defining one image B(s) from the third sequence of images B(t), generating data representative of a reverse displacement V(to→O for pixels of the selected structure of interest between the image I(to) captured at reference time to and each image I(t) of the sequence of images captured at time t, and warping of the image B(s) using the data representative of the reverse displacement V(to→t) to obtain data representative of pixels defining a fourth sequence of images E(t). | 08-19-2010 |

| 20110135186 | DETERMINING FORESHORTENING OPTIMAL VIEW MAPS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE SHAPE OF THE VESSEL CROSS-SECTION IN CARDIOVASCULAR X-RAY SYSTEMS - In clinical reality, the cross section of the lesions is frequently asymmetric. For clinical purposes it is crucial to find an X-ray view that gives a projection image where the minimum luminal cross section of the lesion is shown. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a system is proposed, wherein the system is adapted to perform the steps of a method of identifying modifications of an elongated element located in an object of interest. The method might comprise the steps of generating a plurality of projections of the object of interest, wherein the projections have different projection angles, determining geometrical aspects of the elongate element in each of the projections, calculating an index on the basis of the geometrical aspects, indicating projections having a desired value of the index. | 06-09-2011 |
