Patent number: 8165358Abstract: A system and method for displaying a set of data with a virtually dissected anatomical structure. In an embodiment, the anatomical structure is a colon and various attributes of the colonic lumen are assigned a color. In an embodiment, a virtual dissection of the colon is created by mapping a three-dimensional data set to a two dimensional data set. A plurality of display index values are computed which correspond to the three-dimensional data set. Various colors are assigned to specific display index values. The three-dimensional display index values are mapped to a two-dimensional set of display index values. As directed by a user, various color cues may be displayed with the virtually dissected lumen to provide color highlights to various aspects of the colon, such as highlighting shape, fluid, or fecal presence.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2004Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: GE Medical Systems Global Technology Co., LLCInventors: Saad Ahmed Sirohey, Gopal B.

Patent number: 7532748Abstract: A method for selecting and/or labeling a vessel image includes operating an imaging system to obtain reconstructed image data including a volume having vessels therein. A bone removal routine is then applied to the reconstructed image data to produce a bone-free image. An initial point on a main vessel in the bone-free image is located, and bifurcation points and branches departing from the main vessel are identified. An adjacency graph of each branch coming from the main vessel is built. The method includes either or both of selecting and displaying a best or at least a favorable path through the vessels in accordance with predetermined criteria using the adjacency branch, or labeling and displaying branches of the main vessel.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2005Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Ruben Angel Lara-Montalvo, Laurent Stefani, Laurent Launay, Jérôme François Knoplioch
