Publication number: 20100177177Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for inspecting tubular-shaped structures (1) within a three-dimensional (3D) image data set, e.g. a vessel in a medical image. Initially, there is provided an image data set and performed a visualization of the image data set. Then, an inspection of the image data set is performed. During the inspection the user moves a pointer (P), e.g. via a computer mouse, and a processor performs a local segmentation around the pointer so as to determine a possible shape of a tubular shaped segmented object (1), e.g. a vessel, and the processor also makes a local analysis of the segmented object. Thereafter, a screen displays a view (P1) of the segmented object (1), where the orientation of the first view is derived from the local analysis; the first view can for example be cross-sectional or longitudinal views. The invention may be used directly on the raw image data in a great diversity of visualizations.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2008Publication date: July 15, 2010Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Jeroen Jozef Sonnemans, Raymond Joseph Elisabeth Habets, Javier Olivan Bescoc

Publication number: 20090128486Abstract: A method is presented to control the value of an attribute of a graphical object in an image displayed on a visual display screen, comprising use of a position indicator represented on the visual display screen and comprising use of a user interaction tool to generate user events and control the position of the position indicator represented on the visual display screen. The method makes the control of the attributes of graphical objects more efficient by mapping the value of the attribute to time in that the value of the attribute is controlled by the length of time between the pair of user events. The invention also relates to a computer program, a web service for the viewing and/or processing of medical images, an imaging system, a workstation and a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2006Publication date: May 21, 2009Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS, N.V.Inventors: Rutger Nijlunsing, Raymond Joseph Elisabeth Habets

Publication number: 20080187245Abstract: The invention relates to an image processing apparatus arranged to scale an object within an image, said image processing apparatus comprising a calibrator arranged to scale the object based on a calibration factor derived from a relationship between a true dimension of a marker and a dimension of the marker in pixel units in the image, wherein the calibrator is further arranged to generate a plurality of calibration factors obtained using a plurality of differently oriented markers identified within said image. The image (I) comprises a plurality of objects (3, 8, 9) which are oriented differently in space resulting in a different alignment of these objects with respect to the anatomical structures (2). The object (3) is linked to a measurement tool, which is arranged to measure a length of the object (3) in pixel units and to calculate a true length of the object (3) using a calibration factor determined from a marker (A), which has a similar alignment in space as the object (3).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2005Publication date: August 7, 2008Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS, N.V.Inventors: Raymond Joseph Elisabeth Habets, Rutger Nijlunsing
