  • Patent number: 9081992
    Abstract: Described embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product. A described system includes a receiver circuit that receives a first medical image. The first medical image includes a selected target region of interest of an individual patient's body part, and a landmark subsurface feature of the individual patient's body part having a first spatial relationship with the selected target region. The receiver circuit receives a second medical image that includes a candidate region of interest of the individual patient's body part, and a landmark feature of the individual's patient body part having a second spatial relationship with the candidate region. A feature matching circuit determines a correspondence between the candidate landmark subsurface feature and the associated landmark subsurface feature. A reporting circuit generates informational data indicating the second medical image includes at least a portion of the selected target region of interest.

  • Publication number: 20150146961
    Abstract: Described embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product. In a described system, a receiver circuit receives at least two reference images of a patient body part. Each reference image includes a respective landmark subsurface feature of the patient body part, and each imaged landmark subsurface feature has a respective spatial relationship to a respective region of a surface of the patient body part imaged during a medical examination. A feature matching circuit determines a correspondence between (x) each atlas landmark subsurface feature of the patient body part included in a landmark subsurface feature atlas and (y) each respective imaged landmark subsurface feature. A reporting circuit generates informational data reporting a depiction of an area of the surface of the patient body part by at least two adjacent imaged regions of the surface of the patient body part. A communication circuit outputs the informational data.

  • Publication number: 20150138175
    Abstract: A system may produce images including narrow-bandwidth colors. One or more sets of the narrow-bandwidth colors may be selected to be interpreted as substantially a same color by a user. The system may include a light source configured to produce the narrow-bandwidth colors, and/or narrow-passband filters may create narrow-bandwidth colors from light emitted by broad-spectrum light sources or color sources. Spatial and/or time multiplexing may be used to create separate narrow-bandwidth colors interpreted as substantially a same color by the user. The light source and/or the narrow-passband filter elements may be adjustable and may alternate between emission of two or more narrow-bandwidth colors. A viewing device may include filters configured to selectively filter the narrow-bandwidth colors. The user may filter the narrow-bandwidth colors to separate a stereoscopic image pair, to view an image specific to a user, to view desired content obfuscated by an obfuscating image, and/or the like.

  • Patent number: 8908941
    Abstract: Described embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product. A described system includes a receiver circuit that receives a first reference image that includes an objective landmark subsurface feature of a mammalian body part, and a second reference image that includes a present-location landmark subsurface feature of the mammalian body part. A feature matching circuit determines a substantial correspondence between the objective landmark subsurface feature and a first atlas subsurface feature, and a substantial correspondence between the present-location landmark subsurface feature and a second atlas subsurface feature. A location analysis circuit determines a fourth spatial relationship between the destination region of interest and a distal end portion of the body-insertable device deployed operationally proximate to the mammalian body part. An indicator circuit generates informational data indicative of the determined fourth spatial relationship.

  • Patent number: 8750620
    Abstract: Described embodiments include a system, method, and program product. A described system includes a circuit that determines a substantial correspondence between (x) a perceivable feature included in a border region of a selected digital image and (y) a perceivable feature included in each other digital image of a plurality of digital images. A circuit gathers the determined substantial correspondences. A circuit generates data indicative of a border region-overlap status of the selected digital image. A circuit adds the data to an omitted-coverage list. A circuit iteratively designates a next digital image from the plurality of digital images as the selected digital image until each digital image has been designated. This circuit initiates processing of each of the iteratively designated next digital images. A circuit identifies a possible non-imaged portion of the region of interest. A circuit outputs informational data indicative of the possible non-imaged portion.
