Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080205716Image Processing Device and Method - The present invention relates to an image processing device and a corresponding image processing method for processing a multi-dimensional data set of image data, in particular of three-dimensional medical volume image data, including a segmentation unit (08-28-2008
20080205757Method, A System And A Computer Program For Segmenting A Surface In A Multidimensional Dataset - The invention relates to a method of segmenting a surface in a multi dimensional dataset comprising a plurality of images. In accordance with the method of the invention, at step 08-28-2008
20080260205Image Processing Device and Method - The present invention relates to an image processing device and a corresponding image processing method for processing medical image data showing at least two image objects, including a segmentation unit for detection and/or segmentation of image objects in said image data. To allow a more accurate and better segmentation of target objects which are hard to localize and detect, it is proposed that the segmentation unit comprises: a selection unit (10-23-2008
20080269598Identifying Abnormal Tissue in Images of Computed Tomography - An imaging method for identifying abnormal tissue in the lung is provided, comprising the recording of slice images of the lung by means of X-ray radiation, recording of blood vessels, differentiation of blood vessels and abnormal tissue, segmentation of the abnormal tissue and display of the segmented abnormal tissue on an output device. In addition, a computer tomograph for identifying abnormal tissue in the lung is provided, having a radiation source for recording slice images of the lung and blood vessels by means of X-ray radiation, a computer unit for differentiating the blood vessels from the abnormal tissue and for segmenting the abnormal tissue, as well as an output device for displaying the segmented abnormal tissue. Furthermore, a computer program is provided for controlling a computer tomograph for an identification of abnormal tissue in the lung by means of a radiation source, designed to record slice images of the lung and blood vessels by means of X-ray radiation, to differentiate the blood vessels from abnormal tissue, to segment the abnormal tissue and to control an output device for displaying the abnormal tissue.10-30-2008
20090003513Reconstruction Unit for Reconstructing a Fine Reproduction of at Least a Part of an Object - A reconstruction unit is provided for receiving a sequence of data sets, the data sets representing structural information of the object. The reconstruction unit performs receiving scheduling information related to the data sets of the sequence of data sets. Then reconstructing a sequence of coarse reconstructions of the object by using the sequence of data sets and the scheduling information. Afterwards a sequence of adapted models of the object is generated by adapting a respective model to each of the coarse reconstructions. Then a motion of a predetermined portion of each of the adapted models is determined and a specific data set of the sequence of data sets is selected, wherein the specific data set corresponds to the adapted model with the minimum motion of the predetermined portion. Finally the reconstruction unit performs reconstructing a fine reconstruction of at least the part of the object using the specific data set.01-01-2009
20090030657SURFACE TESSELATION OF SHAPE MODELS - The invention relates to a method (01-29-2009
20090231335PREDICTION OF CARDIAC SHAPE BY A MOTION MODEL - The invention relates to a system (09-17-2009
20090232369METHOD, A SYSTEM AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR INTEGRATION OF MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND A GEOMETRIC MODEL OF A MOVABLE BODY - The system 09-17-2009
20090267941MULTI-SURFACE MODELLING - Modeling of organ surfaces is a well-established method that may serve in computer-supported teaching, but also in image-based medical diagnosis and in clinical interventions. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method of constructing a multi-surface model from a multi-dimensional dataset of an object of interest is provided, which combines single basic two-dimensional manifold surface meshes, resulting in a multi-surface model. According to an aspect of the present invention, this resulting model may be a non-two-dimensional manifold mesh.10-29-2009
