| 20080310708 | Method for Improving Image Viewing Properties of an Image - An image processing method for improving image viewing properties of a digital image is disclosed. The method comprises converting a value of a property of at least one pixel of the image into a display value of the at least one pixel of the image by means of a parameterized function, wherein the parameterized function is location dependent with reference to the location of said at least one pixel of the image, thus creating locally optimized image viewing properties of the image. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090135175 | VISUALIZATION OF A RENDERED MULTI-DIMENSIONAL DATASET - A method of visualization of a multi-dimensional dataset of data-elements involves rendering process in which a display-value and an opacity value are assigned to individual data-elements. The display-values are determined on the basis of a histogram of the data-values of the multi-dimensional dataset. The histogram being is displayed in combination with a separate distribution of display-values. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090141018 | VISUALIZATION OF A RENDERED MULTI-DIMENSIONAL DATASET - A method of visualization of a multi-dimensional dataset of data-elements involves a rendering process in which a display-value and an opacity value are assigned to individual data-elements. One or several control sets are defined comprising respective datavalues, display-values and opacity values related according to the transfer function and for individual control set(s) the opacity value is adjustable independently of the opacity values of other control set(s). The individually and independently adjustable control sets enable the user to adjust the transfer function in a very intuitive way. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090169076 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR RELATING MEDICAL 3D DATA IMAGE VIEWING PLANES TO EACH OTHER - A method of relating medical data image viewing planes to each other is provided. The method comprises defining at least two non-orthogonal two-dimensional (2D) image viewing planes in at least one three-dimensional (3D) medical image data set, and linking said 2D image viewing planes with a fixed relation to each other, such that when a first of said 2D image viewing planes is altered, the remaining 2D image viewing planes are automatically changed by said fixed relation with reference to said first 2D image viewing plane. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090256838 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR CREATING A PRESET MAP FOR THE VISUALIZATION OF AN IMAGE DATASET - A method for creating a preset map for the visualization of an image dataset is provided. The method comprises dynamically adapting the preset map based on image dataset properties resulting in an adapted preset map. The method may be used for identifying the gray value similarity between the volume that the preset was created for and the volume to which the preset is supplied. This similarity measure is used to adapt the preset. As a result comparable 3D images, including structure and color, are created. An apparatus and a computer-readable medium are also provided. | 10-15-2009 |

| 20100246957 | ENHANCED CORONARY VIEWING - Movies of volume rendered medical images that give an impression of the anatomy, become more and more important, because this type of visualization comes close to reality. An apparatus for creating a fly-path movie of a volume rendered medical image dataset is provided. The apparatus is configured to perform segmentation of an object, such as the coronary arteries, in the medical image dataset, such that key images on the fly-path may be defined with different classification and opacity. By fading from one to the other the coronaries are visualized one by one in an optimal way. A method, computer-readable medium and use are also provided. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100259542 | AUTOMATIC MOVIE FLY-PATH CALCULATION - Movies of volume rendered medical images, that give an impression of the anatomy, become more and more important, because this type of visualization comes close to reality. However it is time consuming to compose these movies, if another path than geometrical primitives (like a circle) is preferred. Besides this it is virtually impossible to reproduce comparable complex, manually composed, fly-paths. The proposed apparatus focuses on volume rendered movies of whole heart MR scans. It solves the problems mentioned above, by automatically deriving a fly-path from the segmentation data of the coronary arteries. A method, computer-readable medium and use are also provided. | 10-14-2010 |
