20110019935 | Reducing Noise in an Image - A computer-implemented method for reducing noise in an image includes receiving a first image in a computer system. The first image depicts an interior of an item and is generated using a technique that provides imaging at selected depths in the item. The first image represents a first interior section having a first thickness. The method includes determining a modification for the first image using a second image of the interior. The second image represents a second interior section encompassing the first interior section and has a second thickness greater than the first thickness. The method includes storing the modification in association with the first image. | 01-27-2011 |

20110191082 | INTERACTIVE PLANNING TOOL AND SIMULATION SYSTEM FOR CRYOABLATION SURGERY - A cryoablation procedure at a surgery site is planned and simulated. One or more pre-procedure planning images of the surgery site are displayed on a user interface. Positioning of one or more virtual cryoprobes relative to the one or more pre-procedure planning images on the user interface is facilitated. Properties of the one or more virtual cryoprobes are selectable. Ice ball formation at the surgery site is then simulated based on the position and properties of the virtual cryoprobes. The simulated ice ball formation is based at least in part on tissue properties of the surgery site at each image unit of the one or more pre-procedure planning images. Boundaries of the simulated ice ball formation on the one or more pre-procedure planning images are then displayed. | 08-04-2011 |

20130202170 | AUTOMATED VASCULAR REGION SEPARATION IN MEDICAL IMAGING - A system and/or method automatically identifies one or more vascular regions in a medical image or set of medical images. For example, the system/method may automatically identify vascular structures as belonging to the left carotid, right carotid, and/or basilar vascular regions in the head. The system/method takes as input the medical image(s) and automatically identifies one or more vascular regions. The system/method may also automatically generate MIP renderings of the identified region or regions. | 08-08-2013 |
