  • Patent number: 11726649
    Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting a sequence of medical images are provided herein. A use provides an input which indicates that additional frames are to be displayed. Frames from the sequence are displayed in succession, without skipping the display of any frames, based on a frame rate determined by an input provided by a user.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 10, 2020
    Date of Patent: August 15, 2023
    Assignee: MACH7 TECHNOLOGIES CANADA INC.

  • Patent number: 8072472
    Abstract: A system and method for scaling a composite overlay image, wherein the composite overlay image comprises a plurality of pixels and each pixel comprises at least one color channel and at least one alpha channel, and further wherein at least one pixel of the composite overlay image has an alpha value of zero and a color value that is not well defined. First, a set of pixels of the composite overlay image are identified as pixels to be dilated. The color channels of the identified pixels are then dilated to form dilated composite overlay image. Finally, the dilated composite overlay image is scaled.

  • Patent number: 7496242
    Abstract: An image transformation system and method for transforming a source image having source image pixel data associated with a source pixel array having an origin into a target image having target image pixel data associated with a target pixel array according to an image transformation. The image transformation is applied to the source image pixel data to generate transformed image pixel data. The transformed image pixel data is then compared to the target pixel array and the portion of the transformed image pixel data that fits within the target pixel array is determined. The portion of the source image pixel data that corresponds to the portion of the transformed image pixel data is determined. Finally, the image transformation is applied to the portion of the source image pixel data to generate the target image pixel data.
