Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining a treatment plan, encompassing acquiring patient image data, acquiring target data describing targets, acquiring position data describing control points which define one or more arcs, and determining target projection data which describes outlines of the target in a beam's-eye view. Margin data is acquired. For the outlines, margins are applied to determine auxiliary outlines. Beam shaping device data is determined describing configurations of the collimator leaves so that irradiation of the auxiliary outlines is enabled. Based on these configurations, the irradiation amount is simulated for voxels of the patient image data. Constraints to be fulfilled by the treatment plan may be set. Configurations of blockings, arc-weights and margins are proposed. Only different combinations of these parameters are proposed while additional possible parameters are neglected. An optimization algorithm is used to minimize an objective function. The best configuration is selected as the treatment plan.

A method comprises accessing a three-dimensional (3D) model of an object with a visualization tool, including a touchscreen; displaying, via the touchscreen, an image of the 3D model; detecting a first pressure based input at a first location on the touchscreen; selecting a first component of the 3D model as a result of the first pressure based input at the first location; detecting movement of the first pressure based input from the first location on the touchscreen to a second location on the touchscreen; selecting an adjustable display parameter as a result of the first pressure based input at the second location; detecting a second pressure based input at the touchscreen; and while the first component is selected, changing the display parameter of the first component of the 3D model as a result of the second pressure based input.

A method for simulating an insertion of an elongated instrument into a subject, the method comprising: receiving one of an actual angular position and a rotation angle for a proximal section of the elongated instrument, at least a distal end of the elongated instrument being inserted into a medical apparatus; determining a distal angular position for the distal end of the elongated instrument inserted into the medical apparatus using an adjustment factor and the one of the actual angular position and the rotation angle for the proximal section of the elongated instrument; generating a medical image of at least a portion of the subject, the medical image comprising at least a representation of a distal section of the elongated instrument, the representation of the distal section being generated according to the distal angular position; and outputting the generated medical image.

A medical system comprises an entry guide, a display, and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive state information for an articulatable image capture device controllably extendable out of a distal end of the entry guide. The processor may be configured to generate a view including a graphical representation of a distal end portion of the articulatable image capture device as determined from the received state information and a graphical representation of a field of view of the articulatable image capture device extending distally from the distal end portion of the articulatable image capture device. The processor may also cause the view to be displayed on the display.

An endoscope navigation system is provided that updates an anatomy model based on a live camera signal. As the endoscope advances within the patient, a camera signal, and corresponding position signal, of the endoscope, is provided and used to update the anatomy model based on identified divergences between the camera signal at a particular position and anatomy model.

A medical information processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains image data rendering a blood vessel of a patient. The processing circuitry performs a fluid analysis on the obtained image data and calculates an index value related to a blood flow in the blood vessel with respect to each of a plurality of positions in the blood vessel. With respect to the index values to be calculated, the processing circuitry selects a position in which a first value is to be obtained from among the plurality of positions or selects a value serving as the first value from among the index values exhibited in positions. The processing circuitry causes a display to display the first value in a predetermined display region thereof used for displaying the first value.

The disclosure relates to a method and also to a correspondingly configured imaging device for planning support for an interventional procedure. In the method, a model of a hollow organ is created from a 3D image dataset. A deformation of the hollow organ is then simulated based on a course of a guide facility in the hollow organ through a deformation of the model. In accordance with the deformed model, a spatially resolved compression and/or stretching of the hollow organ, which is brought about by an introduction of the guide facility, is determined and specified.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing data and computer implementable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for generating cross section views of a wound, the operations including receiving 3D information of a wound based on information captured using an image sensor associated with an image plane substantially parallel to the wound; generating a cross section view of the wound by analyzing the 3D information; and providing data configured to cause a presentation of the generated cross section view of the wound.

Methods and systems are provided that can include accessing a three-dimensional (3D) model of an object with a visualization tool including a touchscreen, displaying, via the touchscreen, an image of the 3D model, detecting a pressure based and/or contact based input at the touchscreen, and changing a display parameter of a first component of the 3D model as a result of the input. Selecting the component and/or changing the display can be indicated by visual and/or haptic signals. A method is provided that can include selectively making components of the 3D model transparent or non-transparent, and changing a center of rotation of the 3D model based on the remaining non-transparent components. A method is provided that can include identifying gestures of a selection tool via a stereo camera and changing display parameters based on the detected gesture(s).

An off-the-shelf oral splint that is operatively secured to the maxilla and mandible to assist in reduction and provide maintenance of reduction of maxillary and mandibular fractures in the edentulous or partially edentulous patient. The oral splint is fabricated into a plurality of standardized sizes. These sizes are determined by imaging a population of jaws, measuring dimensions thereof, manipulating (e.g., calculating the mean) these dimensions, and generating a size that is representative of a subset of that population. This can be done for all sizes that would represent individuals in that population. The splint itself is fabricated virtually by creating “U-shapes”, splitting them horizontally into halves, creating an evacuation channel, and generating a coupling mechanism to hold the halves together. The splint can then be printed or otherwise manufactured.
