  • Patent number: 9979863
    Abstract: A method, as well as a system and a computer readable medium based on the method, for reducing perceived noise. The method comprises the steps of determining an area of interest in the image, the area of interest being determined in dependence of a foveal vision of a user, and applying a stronger noise filtering in a peripheral area of the image than in the area of interest, the peripheral area being outside the area of interest and corresponding to a peripheral vision of the user.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9138197
    Abstract: A method is provided for monitoring the radiation dose in a body to be imaged using an X-ray imaging device comprising an X-ray emitting source, a detector, a processing unit and a display. The method comprises exposing the body to be imaged to radiation doses to acquire initial 2D images; computing a 3D model of the body in relation to the initial 2D images using the processing unit; applying a model of the interactions between matter and radiation to the 3D model of the body using the processing unit; calculating, using the processing unit, a dose map of the distribution of the accumulated radiation dose in the 3D model for parameters that define the conditions of X-ray exposure; and displaying the 3D model of the body oriented according to the position of the emitting source with the dose map.

  • Patent number: 9095278
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a radiation dose applied to a patient being exposed or having been exposed to radiation from a medical imaging system, the medical imaging system comprising an X-ray source, the X-ray source describing a trajectory in a coordinate system of reference of the medical imaging system having an origin, the method comprising determining the current coordinates, in the coordinate system of reference of the medical imaging system, of a current region being exposed or having been exposed to radiation from the X-ray source, of an envelope of a patient model, in relation to a current position of the X-ray source, determining, from the current coordinates, a current coordinate system of reference having as origin the current position of the X-ray source, the current coordinate system of reference being centered on the current region, and displaying a representation of the current region centered on the current coordinate system of reference.

  • Publication number: 20130278829
    Abstract: A method, as well as a system and a computer readable medium based on the method, for reducing perceived noise, characterized by comprising the steps of determining an area of interest (12, 14, 15, 16) in the image, the area of interest (12, 14, 15, 16) being determined in dependence of a foveal vision of a user; and applying a stronger noise filtering in a peripheral area (13) of the image than in the area of interest (12, 14, 15, 16), the peripheral area (13) being outside the area of interest (12, 14, 15, 16) and corresponding to a peripheral vision of the user
