20110164802 | COMPUTER AIDED DIAGNOSIS USING DERIVED IMAGES - Computer-aided diagnosis techniques may be combined with techniques to obtain derived images from radiographic images to provide enhanced computer-aided diagnosis of, for example, lung nodules. | 07-07-2011 |
20100266189 | MULTI-SCALE IMAGE NORMALIZATION AND ENHANCEMENT - An image may be processed to normalize and/or remove noise from the image. The processing of the image may involve decomposition of the image into multiple components and subsequent gray scale registration across multiple scales. | 10-21-2010 |
20100266188 | CHEST X-RAY REGISTRATION, SUBTRACTION AND DISPLAY - Images may be registered by performing a number of operations that may include coarse alignment, coarse registration, and fine registration. The finely-registered images may be subtracted to obtain a residual image. | 10-21-2010 |
20100098313 | RIBCAGE SEGMENTATION - A technique for segmenting a ribcage, e.g., in a chest radiograph, may involve determining whether or not the top of the image cuts through the lungs. The process may then proceed to segment the top and the sides of the ribcage. A dynamic programming technique may be used to perform the segmentation. | 04-22-2010 |
20100098305 | MULTI-IMAGE CORRELATION - A technique for registering multiple image representations relating to a common region of interest may involve producing multiple displacements from the image representations for a key point. A final displacement for the key point may be determined from correlations of the multiple displacements. | 04-22-2010 |
20090290779 | FEATURE BASED NEURAL NETWORK REGRESSION FOR FEATURE SUPPRESSION - A method of obtaining one or more components from an image may include normalizing and pre-processing the image to obtain a processed image. Features may be extracted from the processed image. Neural-network-based regression may then be performed on the set of extracted features to predict the one or more components. These techniques may be applied, for example, to the problem of extracting and removing bone components from radiographic images, which may be thoracic (lung) images. | 11-26-2009 |
20090067700 | Presentation of computer-aided detection/diagnosis (CAD) results - A user may be provided with identified regions of interest superimposed on a larger image, which may permit the user to individually examine the regions of interest. The regions of interest may be independently windowed and/or leveled and/or magnified according to parameters associated with the region of interest, which parameters may be generated by a computer-aided detection algorithm. | 03-12-2009 |
20090060372 | OBJECT REMOVAL FROM IMAGES - Using identification of their sizes and positions, objects may be attenuated or removed from images. This may involve the use of various filtering operations and may further include coordinate transformations prior to and/or after the filtering. The filtered objects may then be subtracted from the image. | 03-05-2009 |
20090060366 | OBJECT SEGMENTATION IN IMAGES - Embodiments of the invention may process an input image using phase symmetry methods and use the resulting processing results to determine an object in the image. The object may be suppressed, if desired. | 03-05-2009 |
20090060332 | OBJECT SEGMENTATION USING DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING - An object in an image may be segmented by determining local pixel costs based on the image and using the local costs to determined cumulative pixel costs. A contour may then be determined based on the cumulative pixel costs. | 03-05-2009 |
20080212853 | Computer Aided Diagnosis Using Dual Energy Subtraction Images - Computer-aided diagnosis techniques may be combined with dual-energy radiography techniques to provide enhanced computer-aided diagnosis of, for example, lung nodules. | 09-04-2008 |
