Publication number: 20150164605Abstract: Methods and systems for imaging a subject are presented. A series of volumetric images corresponding to a volume of interest in the subject is received during an interventional procedure. One or more of anatomical structures in at least one volumetric image selected from the series of volumetric images are detected. Detecting the anatomical structures includes determining an originally acquired view of the anatomical structures in the selected volumetric image. An optimal view of the anatomical structures is determined for performing a desired imaging task during the interventional procedure. The detected anatomical structures are automatically reoriented to transform the originally acquired view of the detected anatomical structures into a reoriented view. One or more obstructing structures are automatically removed from the reoriented view to generate the optimal view of the detected anatomical structures.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2013Publication date: June 18, 2015Applicant: General Electric CompanyInventors: Kedar Anil Patwardhan, James Vradenburg Miller, Tai-Peng Tian
