20100135543 | MEDICAL IMAGE VIEWING PROTOCOLS - A method, computer program and device for creating a viewing protocol for medical images is described. At least a first site of interest is identified in a medical imaging data set captured from the patient. Patient record data or computer assisted detection information can be used to identify the site of interest, which may be a potential lesion. A viewing protocol for displaying medical images to a user is planned. The viewing protocol includes a viewing path along which an image of the site of interest will be displayed. The viewing protocol also includes a trigger associated with the site of interest. When the trigger event is encountered the dynamic mode of image display is reconfigured to dynamically highlight the site of interest. The viewing protocol can then be used to control the display of images so as to provide, for example, a virtual endoscope. | 06-03-2010 |
20100189317 | SELECTION OF DATASETS FROM 3D RENDERINGS FOR VIEWING - The invention relates to a system ( | 07-29-2010 |
20100265252 | RENDERING USING MULTIPLE INTENSITY REDISTRIBUTION FUNCTIONS - The invention relates to a system ( | 10-21-2010 |
20100293164 | ACCESSING MEDICAL IMAGE DATABASES USING MEDICALLY RELEVANT TERMS - The invention relates to a system for accessing a database comprising a plurality of image data sets. The system comprises an acquisition unit for acquiring a query for searching the database for an image data set or an image data subset comprised in an image data set, the query comprising at least one medically relevant term defining search criteria; a determining unit for determining the image data set or the image data subset comprised in the image data set, based on the strength of semantic matches between the at least one medically relevant term and (a) corresponding medical annotation(s) describing the image data set; and a retrieving unit for retrieving the determined image data set or image data subset from the database. By enabling semantic matches between medical annotations describing the image data set and the medically relevant term comprised in the query, this invention enables searching for medical images with high-level medical information that is meaningful for medical diagnosis and treatments. | 11-18-2010 |
20100293505 | ANATOMY-RELATED IMAGE-CONTEXT-DEPENDENT APPLICATIONS FOR EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS - The invention relates to a system ( | 11-18-2010 |
20100309199 | PATH PROXIMITY RENDERING - The invention relates to a system (100) for visualizing an object of interest comprised in a volume of an image dataset, the system comprising a path unit (110) for specifying a path in the volume of the image dataset on the basis of the object of interest, a location unit (120) for determining a location on a projection ray through the volume of the image dataset on the basis of the specified path, and a value unit (130) for computing a projected gray value corresponding to the projection ray on the basis of the determined location on the projection ray. Because the locations on the projection ray are determined based on the specified path for indicating the object of interest, the actual computation of the projection gray values may be designed and constructed to show gray values describing the object of interest while hiding gray values describing other objects, in particular occluding objects. Thus, the system of the invention is arranged for visualizing the object of interest at different viewing angles without occluding the object of interest. | 12-09-2010 |
20120035963 | SYSTEM THAT AUTOMATICALLY RETRIEVES REPORT TEMPLATES BASED ON DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION - When generating radiology reports, image findings and/or clinical information is automatically mapped to an appropriate standardized structured report template. The report template contains placeholders for information such as case-specific images and measureable values, and the placeholders are filled in by either the radiologist or by automatic procedures such as image processing algorithms, text extraction algorithms, or the like. In this manner, the radiologist is assisted in effectively generating a reader-independent high-quality diagnostic report. | 02-09-2012 |
