  • Publication number: 20240312603
    Abstract: For generating and/or machine training to generate a whole-body representation of a patient, one or more partial-body scans or images of the patient are extrapolated to the whole-body representation of both interior and exterior anatomy.

  • Patent number: 10957098
    Abstract: For three-dimensional rendering, a machine-learnt model is trained to generate representation vectors for rendered images formed with different rendering parameter settings. The distances between representation vectors of the images to a reference are used to select the rendered image and corresponding rendering parameters that provides a consistency with the reference. In an additional or different embodiment, optimized pseudo-random sequences are used for physically-based rendering. The random number generator seed is selected to improve the convergence speed of the renderer and to provide higher quality images, such as providing images more rapidly for training compared to using non-optimized seed selection.

  • Patent number: 10893262
    Abstract: Physically-based volume rendering generates a lightfield. The locations of scattering modeled in physically-based rendering are used to assign depths for the lightfield. The previously assigned depths and previously rendered lightfield are used for lightfield rendering, which may be performed more rapidly than the physically-based volume rendering.

  • Patent number: 10722210
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a two-dimensional image for identification of medical imaging data. An image processor acquires the medical imaging data and determines a category of the medical imaging data. A machine-learnt network identifies as a function of the category, a plurality of settings of rendering parameters that highlight one or more features the medical imaging data. The image processor renders the two-dimensional identifier image from the medical imaging data using the plurality of settings of rendering parameters and stores the medical imaging data with the two-dimensional identifier image.

  • Patent number: 10692273
    Abstract: An embodiment suggests a method for visualizing an image data set, in particular a medical image data set, wherein the visualized data set displays a three dimensional arrangement having at least a first object and a second object. The method includes assigning a first set of parameter to the first object; assigning a second set of parameters to the second object; dividing the medical image data set into a first sub-region and a second sub-region; and providing a visualisation of the three dimensional arrangement by a volume rendering method, in particular by a ray-casting method or a photorealistic volumetric path tracing, the first set of parameter being applied to the first sub-region for visualizing the first object and the second set of parameter being applied to the second sub-region for visualizing the second object.

  • Patent number: 10665007
    Abstract: For interactive rendering in medical imaging, physically-based volume rendering of a volume of a patient may better assist physicians in diagnosis, prognosis, and/or planning. To provide for more rapid interaction, direct volume rendering is used during interaction. The rendering then transitions to physically-based rendering when there is no interaction. For smoothing the transition and/or preserving cohesive perceptual details, images from the different types of rendering may be blended in the transition and/or during interaction.

  • Patent number: 10580172
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of reducing 4D Digital Subtracted Angiography (DSA) reconstruction artifacts using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation includes a computer receiving first DSA time sequence data comprising a representation of a plurality of vessels and segmenting a vessel of interest from the first DSA time sequence data. The computer uses the CFD simulation to simulate fluid dynamics across the vessel of interest to yield a flow field and determines a plurality of simulated time activity curve parameters for each voxel inside the vessel of interest using the flow field. Then, the computer applies a reconstruction process to second DSA time sequence data to yield a DSA volume. This reconstruction process is constrained by the plurality of simulated time activity curve parameters for each voxel inside the vessel of interest.

  • Patent number: 10546415
    Abstract: Physically-based volume rendering produces pixels. By assigning depths to the pixels, a 3D point cloud is generated. For more rapid rendering, such as due to user interaction, the 3D point cloud rendering is a proxy to physically-based volume rendering. The rendering parameters for the desired image may be determined using the proxy, and then physically-based volume rendering is performed to obtain the desired image.

  • Patent number: 10546414
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for performing window-leveling of volumetric ray tracing includes a computer system retrieving a quad-tree data structure organizing a plurality of light paths associated with a volume rendered using a transfer function and one or more window level values. The computer system also receives a user selection of at least one of a new transfer function or new window level values. The volume is rendered by the computer system with the new transfer function or the new window level values using the quad-tree data structure. Then, the computer system synthesizes an image by adding contributions from all of the plurality of light paths according to the quad-tree data structure.
