  • Patent number: 7123682
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a set of functional parameters using a fluoroscopic radiography apparatus of the type comprising an X-ray source, a detector or recorder of the radiation facing the source, the source and the detector or recorder being installed on a mobile support capable of movement with respect to a table placed between the source and the detector or recorder on which a patient with a region of interest to be X-rayed will be placed. The method comprises a) movement of the support following a given movement with respect to the table, repeated during a given time; b) acquisition by the detector or recorder of a series of images of the region of interest during movement of the support with respect to the table; c) reconstitution of a series of three-dimensional models of the region of interest, starting from a series of acquired images; and d) determination of all functional parameters.

  • Patent number: 6373998
    Abstract: A device includes a registration module that determines a registration transformation between a first set of data of a first image and a second set of data of a second image. A sampling module re-samples the first set of data into a third set of data able to be superposed directly, sample by sample, on the second set of data. A processing module determines, starting from the second and third set of data, a set of difference data representing differences between superposable areas of the images constituted by the second and third sets of data.

  • Publication number: 20020012478
    Abstract: A device comprises means (10) for determining a registration transformation between a first set of data of a first image and a second set of data of a second image, means (20) for re-sampling the first set of data into a third set of data able to be superposed directly, sample by sample, on the second set of data, processing means (30) for determining, starting from the second and third set of data, a set of difference data representing differences between superposable areas of the images constituted by the second and third sets of data.
