A non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores instructions causing a computer that processes information stored in an image management apparatus to execute: creating a synthesized image by synthesizing a scout image in a predetermined region of a slice image, the slice image and the scout image being stored in the image management apparatus, and the scout image specifying a cross-section position of the slice image.

An exemplary system, method, and computer-accessible medium for determining a position or a characteristic of a target(s) for a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment of a patient(s) can be provided, which can include, for example, receiving imaging information of a portion(s) of a head of the patient(s), and determining the position or the characteristic of the target(s) for the TMS treatment of the patient(s) based on the imaging information. The imaging information can be magnetic resonance imaging information. The imaging information can include information regarding a brain and a skull of the patient(s). The position or the characteristic of the target(s) can be determined by identifying (i) the skull, and (ii) a parcel in a section(s) of a brain of the patient(s). The parcel can a dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) parcel. The DLPFC parcel can be identified using a parcellation procedure, which can be a human connectome pipeline procedure

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for performing an automated scan preparation for a scan of a target subject. The automated scan preparation may include, for example, identifying a target subject to be scanned, generating a target posture model of the target subject, causing a movable component of a medical imaging device to move to its target position, controlling a light field of the medical imaging device, determining a target subject orientation, determining a dose estimation, selecting at least one target ionization chamber, determining whether the posture of the target subject needs to be adjusted, determining one or more scanning parameters (e.g., a size of a light field), performing a preparation check, or the like, or any combination thereof.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for 3D luminescence imaging, by identifying a preferred optical pair and optimizing a scanned image using the preferred optical pair. An optimal filter pair may be selected from a list of two or more optical filters. An acceptable threshold of information may be obtained using a subset of the list of two or more optical filters (e.g., an optimal filter pair). An imaging device may be configured with the optimal filter pair to produce a pair of luminescence images of a target sample. In addition, luminescence images may be pre-processed to reduce the time-cost of conventional processing techniques of luminescence images. One or more computing devices may generate initial prior data based on a pair of luminescence images. An output may include one or more output luminescent sources that have been refined and/or optimized from the initial prior data.

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for reducing radiation dose in image acquisition. The method may include obtaining first image data of a subject related to a first scan of the subject. The first scan may be of a first type of scan. The method may include reconstructing a first image of the subject based on the first image data and generating a dose plan of a second scan based on the first image. The second scan may be of a second type of scan. The method may also include obtaining second image data of the subject related to the second scan of the subject. The second scan may be performed according to the dose plan.

Embodiments of the present application provide a magnetic resonance system and a shimming method and an imaging method thereof. The shimming method comprises: performing a scout scan on a subject to be examined, and obtaining phase data of a plurality of slice positions; determining three-dimensional space static magnetic field information according to the phase data of the plurality of slice positions; and determining a shimming value of a slice in a region of interest according to the three-dimensional space static magnetic field information.

The present invention relates to the field of medical monitoring, and in particular non-contact monitoring of one or more physiological parameters in a region of a patient during surgery. Systems, methods, and computer readable media are described for generating a pulsation field and/or a pulsation strength field of a region of interest (ROI) in a patient across a field of view of an image capture device, such as a video camera. The pulsation field and/or the pulsation strength field can be generated from changes in light intensities and/or colors of pixels in a video sequence captured by the image capture device. The pulsation field and/or the pulsation strength field can be combined with indocyanine green (ICG) information regarding ICG dye injected into the patient to identify sites where blood flow has decreased and/or ceased and that are at risk of hypoxia.

A medical imaging apparatus with a medical scanner unit and at least one display is described, as well as a method for actuating at least one display of a medical imaging apparatus. The techniques disclosed are based on a medical imaging apparatus with a medical scanner unit, a computing unit which is connected to a master unit, and at least one display. The at least one display may include a slave unit, and the master unit may be connected to the slave unit by means of a data connection.

A system for fabricating a dental restoration to restore a tooth at a restoration site in a dentition of a patient is disclosed. The dentition includes a restoration dental arch and an opposing dental arch.
