| 20080205757 | Method, 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 |
| 20080260205 | Image 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 |
| 20080304744 | Method for Facilitating Post-Processing of Images Using Deformable Meshes - Method and system for facilitating post-processing of images using deformable meshes in which a deformable mesh model of an object such as an organ is extended by attaching information thereon in order to simplify and/or facilitate a desired post-processing task so that the post-processing task effected when the mesh is applied to the same object in an additional image can expeditiously use this information. The information may be attached to the mesh after its creation, for example, upon segmentation of the same object in some training image. The post-processing task can therefore be performed automatically without user interaction upon segmentation of the object in the additional image. Information is encoded on the mesh by enumerating a list of triangles or vertices of the mesh which have to be considered in the subsequent, post-processing task and by optionally providing additional parameters defining the precise post-processing algorithm(s) to be used. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090030657 | SURFACE TESSELATION OF SHAPE MODELS - The invention relates to a method ( | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090231335 | PREDICTION OF CARDIAC SHAPE BY A MOTION MODEL - The invention relates to a system ( | 09-17-2009 |
| 20090267941 | MULTI-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 |
| 20090322785 | METHOD, APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR INTERACTIVE SHAPE MANIPULATION - A method and apparatus for interactively manipulating a shape of an object, comprising selecting an object to be manipulated and rendering the object in dependence of a manipulation type. The method provides a smart object adapted interaction, manipulation and visualization scheme in contrast to previous display driven schemes. The method allows efficient shape manipulation by restricting the degrees of freedom for the manipulation to the meaningful ones for a given object or object part, thus allowing to reduce e.g. a 3D interaction to a 2D interaction. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100014736 | REDUCTION OF HEART MOTION ARTIFACTS IN THORACIC CT IMAGING - The invention relates to a system ( | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100030572 | TEMPORAL REGISTRATION OF MEDICAL DATA - A data structure for use by a computer system for comparing temporally varying medical data ( | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100046815 | MODEL-BASED CORONARY CENTERLINE LOCALIZATION - The invention relates to a system ( | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100232645 | MODEL-BASED SPECT HEART ORIENTATION ESTIMATION - When estimating a position or orientation of a patient's heart, a mesh model of a nominal heart is overlaid on a SPECT or PET image of the patient's heart and manipulated to conform to the image of the patient's heart. A mesh adaptation protocol applies opposing forces to the mesh model to constrain the mesh model from changing shape and to pull the mesh model to the shape of the patient's heart. A heart orientation estimator ( | 09-16-2010 |
