Abstract: A framework for automatic retrieval of medical images. In accordance with one aspect, the framework detects patches in a query image volume that contain at least a portion of an anatomical region of interest by using a first trained classifier. The framework determines disease probabilities by applying a second trained classifier to the detected patches, and selects, from the patches, a sub-set of informative patches with disease probabilities above a pre-determined threshold value. For a given patch from the sub-set of informative patches, the framework retrieves, from a database, patches that are most similar to the given image. Image volumes associated with the retrieved patches are then retrieved from the database. A report based on the retrieved image volumes may then be generated and presented.

Abstract: In various exemplary embodiments, a method is provided for producing an assembly emitting electromagnetic radiation. In this case, a component composite structure is provided which has components emitting electromagnetic radiation, which components are coupled to one another physically in the component composite structure. In each case at least one component-individual property is imparted to the components. Depending on the determined properties of the components, a structure mask for covering the components in the component composite structure is formed, wherein the structure mask has structure mask cutouts corresponding to the components, which structure mask cutouts are formed in component-individual fashion depending on the properties of the corresponding components. The structure mask cutouts provide phosphor regions, which are exposed in the structure mask cutouts, on the components. Phosphor layers are formed on the phosphor regions of the components.

A non-linear mapping between the first and second medical images is generated. A selection of a given location in the first medical image is received in response to a user's navigational operation. Without deforming the second medical image, a target location in the second medical image is determined by using the non-linear mapping. The target location corresponds to the given location in the first medical image. An optimized deformation-free view of the second medical image is generated based at least in part on the target location.
