  • Publication number: 20160113632
    Abstract: The invention relates to a Method for 3D ultrasound image acquisition as well as to a system for conducting the method. The proposed method checks whether the current ultrasound image (401, 402) has at least a pixel in the volume of interest (301), wherein in case the current image (401, 402) has no pixel in the volume of interest (301), the current image (401, 402) is discarded, wherein otherwise the current ultrasound image (401, 402) is segmented and compounded into said 3D model (403) to be generated which is displayed in real-time on the display (101) and particularly overlaid on the displayed pre-acquired image (305), wherein particularly in case a new current ultrasound image (401, 402) is compounded into the 3D model (403), the displayed 3D model (403) on the display (101) is updated.

  • Patent number: 8644905
    Abstract: A method removes a part representing non-brain tissue of the MR brain image. For each generated magnetic field gradient, acquiring a current signal respectively at a first time of echo TE1 after an excitation radio frequency pulse and at a second time of echo TE2 after the radio frequency pulse. The MR brain image of an internal structure of the target. The first time of echo TE1 and the second time of echo TE2 are adjusted for correlating time of echo difference ?TE=TE2?TE1 with a fat and water mutual resonance frequency difference ?, and in that fat and water information encoded in the current signal resulting from the correlation of the second and first time of echo difference ?TE with the fat and water mutual resonance frequency difference is used as an additional input source into a multispectral analysis method for removing the part.

The MR brain image of an internal structure of the target. The first time of echo TE1 and the second time of echo TE2 are adjusted for correlating time of echo difference ?TE=TE2-TE1 with a fat and water mutual resonance frequency difference ?, and in that fat and water information encoded in the current signal resulting from the correlation of the second and first time of echo difference ?TE with the fat and water mutual resonance frequency difference is used as an additional input source into a multispectral analysis method for removing the part.

  • Patent number: 6919071
    Abstract: The invention concerns a cosmetic or dermatological composition for protection against ultraviolet radiation, based on inorganic screening agent, characterized in that it comprises a water-in-oil emulsion containing a combination of at least a particulate inorganic sunscreening agent, selected among the group consisting of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and mixtures thereof, and at least an emulsifier selected among the group consisting of silicone derivatives with glycosidic constituent, the particulate screening agent being homogeneously dispersed in the water-in-oil emulsion.
