Abstract: A method for a device to optimize memory includes: when a newly created process needs to be added into a control group, detecting whether a total resource value of memory resources occupied by all processes in the control group at a current moment reaches a critical resource value; if it is detected that the total resource value of memory resources occupied by all processes in the control group at the current moment reaches the critical resource value, cancelling restriction of the predetermined resource threshold on the control group and adding the newly created process into the control group that is not restricted by the predetermined resource threshold; and performing a swap-out operation on memory resources occupied by an idle process in the control group, so that the total resource value of memory resources occupied by all processes in the control group is less than the predetermined resource threshold.

Abstract: Efficient path planning of a medical device for insertion into a patient using medical imaging is provided. An image rendered from different transfer functions is used. One transfer function provides context, such as rendering to show a skin surface or other patient anatomical system. Another transfer function indicates local vessel, fluid, or other information for selecting points along the path. The user may select the transfer function used at different locations as well as the depth of a clipping plane at the different locations to allow unambiguous selection of a path point in the three-dimensional rendering.

Abstract: A method for visualizing flow data from computation fluid dynamics (CFD) applications in 2-dimensions (2D) includes receiving a 3-dimensional (3D) image volume from a CFD simulation of fluids flowing through vessels in a patient that is a snapshot of a fluid flow in the vessels at a certain time, subdividing the 3D image volume into 3D data blocks, minimizing a sum over a matrix of energy interactions defined for each pair of data blocks in the 3D image volume, where the minimization preserves a local shape of the vessels, where minimizing the sum over the matrix of energy interactions is performed on a graphics processing unit (GPU), and using the minimized energy interaction matrix to display on a monitor a 2D sketch of the 3D image volume, where the 2D sketch is displayed in real-time with respect to the time scale of the CFD simulation.

Abstract: A method for tracing a plurality of virtual particles through a flow filed includes receiving a flow field. A flow domain is divided into cells. Virtual particles are defined within the flow domain and values are collected for flow properties at each cell. A histogram is generated for each cell representing the collected flow properties for that corresponding cell. The histogram includes, for each of the one or more flow properties, a plurality of bins defining ranges of property values and a count of virtual particles within that cell that exhibit those properties. The histograms for the plurality of cells are advected with respect to the flow field over time. A graphical representation of the plurality of particles within the flow domain is rendered based on the advected histograms for the plurality of cells using a graphics processor.

Abstract: In the present methods, the automatic detection of polyps is converted into a 2D pattern recognition problem using conformal mapping and direct volume rendering. The colon surface is first segmented and extracted from the CT data set of the abdomen, which is then mapped to a 2D plane using conformal mapping. Ray casting is used to determine sub-surface density values and the flattened image is rendered using a volume rendering technique with a translucent electronic biopsy transfer function. Polyp candidates are detected by a clustering method which identifies regions of elevated sub-surface density. The potential for false positives is reduced by analyzing the volumetric shape and texture features of the polyp candidate regions.
