Abstract: A method for processing a medical image of a subject is provided. The method includes presenting on a display a slice through the medical image of the subject. The medical image includes voxels. The method further includes performing automatic edge detection in the slice of the medical image to obtain a segmented slice. The automatic edge detection is based on a user selected voxel in the slice of the medical image. The automatic edge detection is based on a user controllable edge detection brush. Not all of the voxels selected by the edge detection brush are designated as an edge.

Abstract: A method for generating a transducer layout for delivering tumor treating fields includes storing medical images of a subject, identifying one of the medical images as an anchor medical image, and registering computed tomography medical images with magnetic resonance imaging medical images. The method further includes segmenting abnormal tissue in the medical images from other tissue types and defining a region of interest (ROI) in the medical images. The method further includes creating a 3D model of the subject. The method further includes generating a plurality of transducer layouts for application of tumor treating fields to the subject, selecting at least two of the transducer layouts as recommended transducer layouts, presenting the recommended transducer layouts, receiving a user selection of at least one recommended transducer layout, and providing a report for the selected recommended transducer layout(s).

Abstract: A method for generating a transducer layout for delivering tumor treating fields to a subject includes presenting a user-selectable icon to display a slice through medical images, which can be MRI medical images and CT medical images registered together. The slice includes corresponding slices through the MRI and CT medical images overlaid on each other. The medical images include voxels. The method further includes presenting a user-selectable icon to manually segment the slice through the medical images to obtain a manually segmented slice through the medical images. The method further includes presenting a user-selectable icon to automatically clean up the manually segmented slice to obtain a cleaned up manually segmented slice through the medical images. The method further includes presenting a user-selectable icon to generate transducer layouts for application of tumor treating fields to the subject based on the cleaned up manually segmented slice through the medical images.

Abstract: A system and methods for automatically adjusting view angle when performing cardiac mapping and ablation are described herein. A three-dimensional (3D) map of a cardiac structure of a patient and a relative location (e.g., position and orientation) of a catheter within the cardiac structure may be displayed on a visual display device. According to an example procedure, the position and orientation of the tip of the catheter within the cardiac structure, and the current ablation target may be detected. A desired viewing angle of the ablation target may be known, determined, provided and/or learned through training sessions with the operator. The viewing angle of the 3D map of the cardiac structure may be automatically adjusted to correspond to the desired viewing angle using the known locations of the tip of the catheter and ablation target. Other details and procedures may be implemented, as described herein.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods, systems, and apparatuses for generating an enhanced electrocardiograph (ECG) that includes indicators of values of different types of supplemental information embedded into a trace of measured electrical potentials. More specifically, embodiments may include collecting first data samples of electrical potentials produced by a heart at a sequence of sampling times, and processing the data to calculate supplemental information over a number of sampling times. Based on the first data samples and the supplemental information, a trace of the electrical potentials collected at the sampling times is presented. The trace may have one or more embedded indicators of the supplemental information that vary responsively to the first data samples collected at each of the sampling times.
