Patent number: 11875431Abstract: An image processing system (IPS), comprising: an input interface (IN) for receiving a request to visualize image data captured of an anatomy of interest by an imaging apparatus (IA). An energy value determiner (EVD) is configured to determine based on at least one of the image data, the different image data or contextual data, an energy value for forming, from the image data, a monochromatic image. The determining by the energy value determiner (EVD) is based on an energy curve fitted to the image data. the image data forms part of a series of sectional images acquired of the anatomy of interest, or such sectional images derivable from the image data. The sectional images relate to different locations (z) of the anatomy. The energy curve is fitted to energy value control points assigned to at least a sub-set of the different locations (z). Each energy value control point represents a respective known energy value for a respective one of the sub-set of different locations.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Zimam Romman, Shlomo Gotman
