  • Publication number: 20230380787
    Abstract: The present application relates to a computer-implemented dynamic vessel roadmapping method. The method comprises generating a vessel roadmap library, the vessel roadmap library including a plurality of vessel roadmaps, wherein each vessel roadmap comprises vessel roadmap image and first and second alignment data, obtaining a real-time fluoroscopy image and corresponding real-time first and second fluoroscopy information, overlaying a vessel roadmap image of the vessel roadmap library with the real-time fluoroscopy image based on the first alignment data, the second alignment data, and the real time first and second fluoroscopy information and aligning the vessel roadmap image and the real-time fluoroscopy image based on the second alignment data and the real time second fluoroscopy information, wherein the second alignment data is derived from the corresponding vessel roadmap image.

  • Patent number: 11734849
    Abstract: Patient biographic data may be estimated by receiving patient image data, applying the patient image data to a machine learned model, the machine learned model trained on second patient data and trained to map the second patient data to associated biographic data using machine learned features, generating the patient biographic data based on the applying and the machine learned features, and outputting the patient biographic data. The patient biographic data may include a patient weight, a patient height, a patient gender, and a patient age.

  • Patent number: 11547323
    Abstract: For patient model estimation from surface data in a medical system, a stream or sequence of depth camera captures are performed. The fitting of the patient model is divided between different times or parts of the sequence, using the streaming capture to distribute processing and account for patient movement. Less manual involvement may be needed due to the regular availability of image captures. Subsequent fitting may benefit from previous fitting.

  • Publication number: 20100091035
    Abstract: Progress monitoring of lesions is done automatically by segmentation and registration of lesions in multi-phase medical images. A parametric level-set framework includes a model optimization for any number of lesions. The user specifies lesions in a baseline volume by clicking inside of them. The apparatus segments the lesions automatically in the baseline and follow-up volumes. The segmentation optimization compensates for lesion motion between baseline and follow-up volumes. 2D and 3D medical patient data can be processed by the methods.

  • Publication number: 20060235671
    Abstract: In a method of real-time 3-D visualization and navigation for interventional procedures a position is determined at which data will be acquired, and data is acquired at the position. Features are extracted from the acquired data. A model described by the extracted features is built or updated, wherein updating the model includes calculating at least one acquisition parameter of a set of acquisition parameters. 3-D scenes showing the interior or exterior of one or more organs are displayed using the model or data extracted from the model. A region for updating is determined.
