Abstract: Presented are concepts for adapting a first, pre-defined mesh topology representing an organ to a second, different mesh topology of the organ. One such concept includes identifying correspondence between the first and second mesh topologies based on spectral matching of the first and second mesh topologies. The first, predefined mesh topology is aligned with the second mesh topology based on the identified correspondence between the first and second mesh topologies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a regions identifying apparatus (1) for identifying regions in an image like a computed tomography image showing a brain. A model providing unit (6) provides a three-dimensional model of a head of a living being, wherein the three-dimensional model includes Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) regions of a brain, and a regions identifying unit (7) identifies ASPECTS regions in the three-dimensional image by applying the three-dimensional model to the three-dimensional image. This allows for an accurate, automatic identification of the ASPECTS regions independently of the orientation of the head in an imaging system, independently of an image slice thickness and also independently of a respective user like a physician. This leads to imaging an improved accuracy of determining the ASPECTS regions which allows for an improved quantification of ischemic changes in the brain after stroke. This in turn also allows for an improved treatment recommendation.

Abstract: The invention relates ultrasound assistance device (20), an ultrasound device including such ultrasound assistance device, a medical system (100) including the same and a corresponding method as well as to a corresponding software product. According to the present invention, a segmentation of first image data (e.g. MRI data) and deformation information is obtained, while the deformation information may be obtained explicitly or implicitly (e.g. from general information of the equipment used and/or from the first image data/the segmentation of the first image data). Such deformation information is used for adjustment (e.g. automatic adjustment or guided adjustment including feedback to a user) for an adjustable ultrasound probe (30, 30?), while the ultrasound image acquired by such adjusted ultrasound probe is then segmented using the segmentation of the first image data.

Abstract: A seizure characterization method includes correlating locations of electrodes placed around a brain and used to produce sequential electroencephalography (EEG) signals with a three-dimensional anatomical brain model derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The sequential EEG signals are modelled from the electrodes placed around the brain in three dimensions using cortical and sub-cortical brain regions included in the brain model to define constraints for the numerical solution. Amounts of the sequential EEG signals are quantified in three dimensions relative to the brain regions included in the brain model. The method also includes establishing, based on the quantifying, at least one propagation pattern of the sequential EEG signals in time relative to the brain regions in the brain model.
