  • Patent number: 11594002
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to enable medical image visualization and interaction in a virtual environment. An example apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one memory including instructions. The instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to at least: generate a virtual environment for display of image content via a virtual reality display device; enable interaction with the image content in the virtual environment via an avatar; adjust the image content in the virtual environment based on the interaction; and generate an output of image content from the virtual environment.

  • Publication number: 20220346665
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for robust intensity ranges for automatic lesion volume measurement. Imaging data obtained during medical imaging examination of a patient may be processed, with the imaging data corresponding to a particular medical imaging technique. One or more parameters pertinent to identifying particular features in at least one organ or body structure may be automatically determined. At least one medical image may be generated and displayed based on processing of the imaging data. The displaying may include identifying, based on the one or more parameters, one or more areas in the at least one organ or body structure and providing within displayed at least one medical image visual feedback relating to the identified one or more areas in the at least one organ or body structure.

  • Patent number: 11227683
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for determining and characterizing features of an anatomical structure from a medical image. In one example, a method comprises acquiring a plurality of medical images over time during an exam, registering the segmented anatomical structure between the plurality of medical images, segmenting an anatomical structure in a one of the plurality of medical images after registering the plurality of medical images, creating and characterizing a reference region of interest (ROI) in each of the plurality of medical images, determining characteristics of the anatomical structure by tracking pixel values of the segmented and registered anatomical structure over time, and outputting the determined characteristics on a display device.

  • Patent number: 11062527
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to enable medical image visualization and interaction in a virtual environment. An example apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one memory including instructions. The instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to at least: generate a virtual environment for display of image content via a virtual reality display device, the image content to include a two-dimensional image overlaid on a three-dimensional volume; enable interaction with the image content in the virtual environment via an avatar, movement of the avatar to be correlated with an external input; adjust the image content in the virtual environment based on the interaction; and generate an output of image content from the virtual environment.
