Abstract: Provided is a method (200) for generating a combined anatomical model of a heart. The method comprises receiving (220) a non-contrast agent-enhanced ultrasound image of a left ventricular region of the heart and receiving (240) a contrast agent-enhanced ultrasound image of the left ventricular region of the heart. Image registration (260) is performed on the respective non-contrast agent-enhanced and contrast agent-enhanced ultrasound images, such that the respective images are aligned. Combined segmentation (270) of the aligned non-contrast agent-enhanced and contrast agent-enhanced ultrasound images is then carried out to generate the combined anatomical model. The combined segmentation (270) uses features of both of the aligned non-contrast agent-enhanced and contrast agent-enhanced ultrasound images as target points. Further provided is a processor arrangement adapted to implement the method and an ultrasound system comprising the processor arrangement.

Abstract: The resolving of a decentralized identifier at a customized security level. When a decentralized identity is resolved, it is resolved into a data structure (e.g., a document) that corresponds to the decentralized identity. The resolving includes causing a user interface to be rendered to the user, detecting user interaction with the user interface, and then based on that user interaction identifying a level of resolver security to use when resolving that decentralized identifier. The method then resolve the decentralized identity using that identifier level of resolver security. As an example, higher levels of resolver security may be obtained by using consensus from multiple resolvers.

Abstract: Slice alignment approaches are described for short axis cardiac magnetic resonance cine slice stacks, which do not require additional scans, such as long axis scans or full 3D scans, and which are able to deal with cardiac structures having complex shapes. Both approaches do not need contours to follow a quadratic curvature function, and are well suitable for the purpose of obtaining a segmentation of a cardiac structure using a deformable surface model. Namely, such a deformable surface model is unable, but also not desired, to fully adapt to the ‘zig-zag’-shaped pattern in the boundary of the cardiac structure due to the slice misalignment. Having removed or reduced the misalignment between image slices, such a deformable surface model may better adapt to the cardiac structure in the image data and 10 thereby provide a better segmentation of the cardiac structure.

A correspondingly adapted identity system and a computer program product with control commands are arranged to implement the method and/or operate the proposed system arrangement.

Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus for refining a model of an anatomical structure in an image. A model for the anatomical structure in the image is acquired. The model comprises a plurality of control points, each control point corresponding to a feature in the anatomical structure. The model is placed in the image with respect to the anatomical structure. Based on a user input received to adjust the model in the image, a position of at least one of the plurality of control points is adjusted to alter a shape of the model to the anatomical structure in the image, wherein adjustment of the position of one or more of the at least one control points is restricted based on information relating to the at least one control point.

Abstract: The invention provides for a method for switching between fields of view of an ultrasound probe. The method begins by obtaining an anatomical model representing a region of interest of a subject and establishing a first field of view relative to an ultrasonic probe, wherein the first field of view comprises an initial portion of the region of interest. Ultrasound data is then obtained from the first field of view by way of the ultrasonic probe and a first anatomical feature is identified within the first field of view based on the ultrasound data. A location in digital space of the first field of view relative to the anatomical model is determined based on the first anatomical feature. A second field of view is then established based on the anatomical model and the first field of view, wherein the first field of view functions as a reference field of view. The field of view is then switched from the first field of view to the second field of view.

Abstract: An image analysis method and device is for detecting failure or error in an image segmentation procedure. The method comprises comparing (14) segmentation outcomes for two or more images, representative of a particular anatomical region at different respective time points, and identifying a degree of consistency or deviation between them. Based on this derived consistency or deviation measure, a measure of accuracy of the segmentation procedure is determined (16).

Abstract: An ultrasound control unit (12) is for configuring visualization of ultrasound data using in use a display unit. The control unit is adapted to acquire ultrasound image data and to automatically control visualization of the most relevant parts and views the data, based on current levels of a number of different monitored physiological parameters. In particular, responsively to one of the physiological parameters entering or leaving a pre-defined range of values (e.g. representative of an alert or normal condition respective for the patient), the control unit determines a most appropriate anatomical region within the image data for representing the changed physiological parameter, and a most useful visualization mode (e.g. view) for presenting or showing that anatomical region within the image data. One or more display frames are generated which show the anatomical region visualized in accordance with the selected visualization mode.
