| 20080221446 | Method and apparatus for tracking points in an ultrasound image - An ultrasound system comprises a position sensing module, an imaging tracking module, a display and a user interface. The position sensing module detects spatial information associated with a volume of data. The display displays first and second images based on the volume of data. The first and second images comprise first and second portions of the volume of data, and the first and second portions are at least partially different with respect to each other. The user interface selects a first image tracking point on the first image. The first image tracking point is indicated on the first image with a first indicator. The image tracking module tracks the first image tracking point within the volume of data. The image tracking module indicates on the display a spatial relationship of the first image tracking point to the second image. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090024028 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EVALUATING IMAGES - A method and system for evaluating images is disclosed herein. A method for evaluating non-ultrasound images using an ultra-sound imaging system comprises: obtaining plurality of ultrasound images using the ultrasound imaging system and fetching a plurality of non-ultrasound DICOM images to the ultrasound imaging system. Once the images are obtained, ultrasound measurements are performed in the ultrasound and non-ultrasound images using the ultrasound imaging system to obtain at least one predefined parameter from the ultrasound and non-ultrasound images. Once the predefined parameters are obtained, they are compared to interpret the results. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090097723 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VISUALIZING REGISTERED IMAGES - A method for visualizing a registered image is presented. The method includes receiving a first image data set and at least one other image data set. Further, the method includes displaying at least a portion of the first image data set on a first portion of a display. Also, the method includes displaying at least a portion of the at least one other image data set on a second portion of the display. Additionally, the method includes selectively adjusting display of the at least a portion of the at least one other image data to provide a context to the first image data set. Systems and computer-readable medium that afford functionality of the type defined by this method is also contemplated in conjunction with the present technique. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090097778 | ENHANCED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VOLUME BASED REGISTRATION - A method for volume based registration of images is presented. The method includes receiving a first image data set and at least one other image data set. Further the method includes identifying a first image slice in the at least one other image data set corresponding to the first image data set. The method also includes selecting a first point of interest on at least one of the first image data set or the first image slice in the at least one other image data set. In addition, the method includes selecting a second point of interest on the other of the first image data set or the first image slice in the at least one other image data set, wherein the second point of interest corresponds to the first point of interest. Moreover, the method includes translating one of the first image data set, the first image slice, or both, in a first direction, a second direction and a third direction to align the first point of interest with the second point of interest. Also, the method includes registering the first image data set and the at least one other image data set. Systems and computer-readable medium that afford functionality of the type defined by this method is also contemplated in conjunction with the present technique. | 04-16-2009 |
