  • Image search engine
    Patent number: 9275456
    Abstract: An embodiment of the current invention includes a non-invasive imaging system, comprising: an imaging scanner suitable to generate an image representing a tissue region of a subject under observation, the tissue region having at least one substructure and the image comprising a plurality of image voxels; a signal processing system in communication with the imaging scanner to receive the imaging signal from the imaging scanner; and a data storage unit in communication with the signal processing system, wherein the data storage unit is configured to store: an atlas comprising spatial information of the at least one substructure in the tissue region, and a database comprising a plurality of pre-stored medical images representing the tissue region, and wherein the signal processing system is adapted to: identify, based on the atlas and for each of the at least one substructure, a corresponding portion of image voxels in the image; provide a computed quantification of the corresponding portion of image voxels for
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 25, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 1, 2016
    Assignee: The Johns Hopkins University
    Inventors: Susumu Mori, Michael I. Miller, Kenichi Oishi, Andreia V. Faria
  • Atlas-based analysis for image-based anatomic and functional data of organism
    Patent number: 8838201
    Abstract: A non-invasive imaging system, including an imaging scanner suitable to generate an imaging signal from a tissue region of a subject under observation, the tissue region having at least one anatomical substructure and more than one constituent tissue type; a signal processing system in communication with the imaging scanner to receive the imaging signal from the imaging scanner; and a data storage unit in communication with the signal processing system, wherein the data storage unit is configured to store a parcellation atlas comprising spatial information of the at least one substructure in the tissue region, wherein the signal processing system is adapted to: reconstruct an image of the tissue region based on the imaging signal; parcellate, based on the parcellation atlas, the at least one anatomical substructure in the image; segment the more than one constituent tissue types in the image; and automatically identify, in the image, a portion of the at least one anatomical substructure that correspond to one
