20130204115 | COMPUTER BASED ANALYSIS OF MRI IMAGES - A method for computer based analysis of a low field MR image including a trabecular region of bone for extracting from said image diagnostic information by applying a trained statistical classifier which has been trained on similar labelled according to the severity of a trabecular bone altering disease suffered at the time or later. For each image in the training set a region of interest (ROI) is defined, textural information relating to the intensities of voxels within the ROI is obtained, and combinations of features of said textural information are found which suitably classify the images according to said labelling. An image under study is treated similarly and features of said textural information for the voxels within the ROI of the image are combined as learnt in the training of the classifier to estimate a level of said trabecular bone altering disease or propensity to develop said bone altering disease or a level thereof associated with said image. | 08-08-2013 |
20120249551 | ALIGNMENT OF SHAPES OF BODY PARTS FROM IMAGES - A method of manipulation of a representation of a 2-D shape for improving a General Procrustes Alignment process, comprising taking a starting 2-D shape defined by a set of landmarks derived from data representing a 2-D projection image of a body part such as a vertebra, in a suitably programmed computing device deriving for each landmark of the 2-D shape a probable relative depth by the application thereto of a statistical model based on a multiplicity of 3-D shapes defined by landmarks derived from 3-D images of similar said body parts, said landmarks having one depth and two spatial coordinates, said model relating the probable relative depth of each landmark in a 3-D-shape of a said body part to the spatial coordinates of the set of landmarks constituting a said shape, and based on the inferred relative depth of the landmarks of the starting 2-D shape deforming the starting 2-D shape to correct for apparent distortion caused by rotation about an axis parallel to the projection plane of the imaged body part, so producing a corrected 2-D shape. | 10-04-2012 |
20090016579 | Method and system for performing quality control of medical images in a clinical trial - A method for performing quality control on medical images in a clinical trial setting. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of designating an image as reference image; obtaining attribute data from the reference image as reference attribute data; storing the reference image and the reference attribute data; subsequently taking a second image; obtaining attribute data from the second image as second attribute data; comparing the second image with the reference image on a single output screen; and denoting on the single output screen the second attribute data associated with the second image which differs from the reference data associated with the reference image. | 01-15-2009 |
