  • Arrangements for viewing clinical images
    Patent number: 9881126
    Abstract: In a method and system for populating multi-segment layouts with related multimodal medical images, a relationship is determined between subsets of the multimodal medical images. The relationship is used to determine selected subsets initially selected for display in respective segments of a segmented display. Appropriate images relating to selected subsets are used to populate the remaining display segments.
    Type: Grant

  • Methods and apparatus for generating a modified intensity projection image
    Patent number: 9020218
    Abstract: In a method or apparatus for generating, from medical image data of a subject from a functional imaging modality, a modified intensity projection image for display. An intensity projection image data set is obtained from the image data. A segmentation for the image data is obtained. Based on information from the segmentation, a modified display property is calculated for at least one voxel of the intensity projection image data set.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING AN IMAGE AS A COMBINATION OF TWO EXISTING IMAGES
    Publication number: 20140225926
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for generating a monochrome image representing combined aligned corresponding functional and anatomical images, the anatomical image is represented as a gradient image and is combined with the anatomical image.

  • METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR COMPARING 3D AND 2D IMAGE DATA
    Publication number: 20120170820
    Abstract: In a method or apparatus of comparing two image data sets from medical imaging data of a subject, a first, three-dimensional image data set of the subject is obtained. A second, two-dimensional image data set of the subject is also obtained. The first data set is registered with the second data set. Data from the first, three-dimensional image data set is processed to determine a voxel in the first data set which corresponds to a given pixel in the second, two-dimensional image data set.
