20100329571 | SHAPE BASED REGISTRATION - A method for registering a source image of an object with a target image of the object includes generating a mask image delineating a structure of interest from the source image, determining a distance map for the mask image, determining a shape representation by identifying an iso-value on the distance map such that level curves correspond to the characteristics of a desired shape, iteratively calculating a similarity metric corresponding to a region of overlap between the level curve based shape representation and the second image resulting in a registration transform, applying the registration transform to the target image to co-register the source image with the target image, and displaying the co-registered source image and the target image on a display device. | 12-30-2010 |
20120134550 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMPARING DIFFERENT MEDICAL IMAGES TO ANALYZE A STRUCTURE-OF-INTEREST - A method of analyzing a structure-of-interest (SOI) in a patient. The method includes obtaining a first medical image of a patient. The first medical image includes an identified structure-of-interest (SOI). The identified SOI has a corresponding local measurement. The method also includes receiving a second medical image of the patient and selecting an SOI in the second medical image. The selected SOI has a corresponding local measurement. The method also includes automatically determining that the selected SOI is the identified SOI based on corresponding location data of the identified and selected SOIs, respectively, and linking the local measurements of the selected and identified SOI. | 05-31-2012 |
20140314285 | REAL-TIME, INTERACTIVE IMAGE ANALYSIS - An imaging system and method for real-time, interactive image analysis are provided herein. The imaging system includes an imaging device configured to capture an image of an object and a computing device that includes a display. The computing device is communicably coupled to the imaging device and is configured to acquire the image from the imaging device and generate a segmentation of the image in real-time based on a position of a pointer on the display. The imaging device is also configured to generate a representation of the object based on the segmentation, calculate measurements for the object based on the segmentation, and display the representation and the measurements via the display. | 10-23-2014 |
