  • Patent number: 8160314
    Abstract: A system and method for linking volumes of interest (VOIs) across timepoints are provided. The method comprises: loading an image dataset of a first timepoint and an image dataset of a second timepoint; registering the image dataset of the first timepoint and the image dataset of the second timepoint; displaying the image dataset of the first timepoint and the image dataset of the second timepoint; selecting a VOI in the image dataset of the first timepoint and the image dataset of the second timepoint; and linking the VOIs in the image dataset of the first timepoint and the image dataset of the second timepoint.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7840050
    Abstract: A system and method for piecewise registration of timepoints are provided. The method comprises: selecting an image dataset of a first or second timepoint to be registered; defining a sub-volume in the selected image dataset; and registering the sub-volume with a whole-volume of the unselected image dataset.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20060030769
    Abstract: A system and method for loading a timepoint for comparison with a previously loaded timepoint are provided. The method comprises: selecting an image dataset of the timepoint; validating the image dataset of the timepoint against a validated image dataset of the previously loaded timepoint; and constructing a volume based on the image dataset of the timepoint.
