Methods are provided for dynamically visualizing information in image data of an object of interest of a patient, which include an offline phase and an online phase. In the offline phase, first image data of the object of interest acquired with a contrast agent is obtained with an interventional device is present in the first image data. The first image data is used to generate a plurality of roadmaps of the object of interest. A plurality of reference locations of the device in the first image data is determined, wherein the plurality of reference locations correspond to the plurality of roadmaps. In the online phase, live image data of the object of interest acquired without a contrast agent is obtained with the device present in the live image data, and a roadmap is selected from the plurality of roadmaps. A location of the device in the live image data is determined. The reference location of the device corresponding to the selected roadmap and the location of the device in the live image data is used to transform the selected roadmap to generate a dynamic roadmap of the object of interest. A visual representation of the dynamic roadmap is overlaid on the live image data for display. In embodiments, the first image data of the offline phase covers different of phases of the cardiac cycle of the patient, and the plurality of roadmaps generated in the offline phase covers the different phases of the patient's cardiac cycle. Related systems and program storage devices are also described and claimed.

A medical imaging device is disclosed herein.

The invention relates to an arrangement in connection with a mammography apparatus, in the invention, a screen or a user interface with a screen is attached to the mammography apparatus, which attachment is realized such that the screen or the user interface with a screen is aligned or can be aligned at least partly towards a lower tray structure of the mammography apparatus. Such screen or a user interface with a screen can be arranged in a functional connection with an information system and patient images recorded earlier in the information system can be displayed on the screen or the user interface with a screen.

A composite image generation unit of a CPU of a console combines a camera image obtained by capturing an image of a subject located in an irradiation field using a camera and a positioning index image indicating a set position of the subject, which has been set in advance with respect to an in-image cassette position that is the position of the electronic cassette in the camera image, to generate a composite image. In a case in which the in-image cassette position is changed with the movement of the electronic cassette, the composite image generation unit changes a display position of the positioning index image with the change in the in-image cassette position.

A method of controlling a medical apparatus which includes: establishing, by a mobile apparatus, a communication link between the mobile apparatus and the medical apparatus; when the communication link is established, detecting an operation mode of the mobile apparatus; determining a function corresponding to the detected operation mode from functions provided by the medical apparatus; and performing the determined function.

An image display control system includes a hardware processor that acquires data of a static image of a subject, and data of a dynamic image of the subject including a plurality of frame images, analyzes the dynamic image that is acquired, and creates analysis result data based on an analysis result, and selects, on a basis of a purpose of checking of data, at least one of the data among the data of the static image that is acquired, a part of the data of the dynamic image that is acquired, and the analysis result data that is created.

A method and system for producing tomosynthetic images of a patient's breast. An x-ray source that delivers x-rays through a breast immobilized and compressed between a compression paddle and a breast platform and form an image at a digital x-ray receptor panel. Multiple x-ray images are taken as the x-ray source and the receptor move relative to the immobilized breast. In one preferred embodiment, the x-ray source travels from 15 to +15. The source can travel in an arc around the breast while the receptor travels linearly while remaining parallel and at the same distance from the breast platform. The sets of x-ray image data taken at different angles are to combined to form tomosynthetic images that can be viewed in different formats, alone or as an adjunct to conventional mammograms.

A method for geometric calibration of a mobile radiography apparatus, executed at least in part by a computer, acquires a series of tomosynthesis projection images of a patient positioned between an x-ray source of the mobile radiography apparatus and a detector that is positionally uncoupled from the x-ray source. A vector field is generated having a first set of vectors indicative of feature movement between a first acquired projection image and a second acquired projection image. The generated vector field is associated with an epipolar geometry according to an optimization of an energy relationship between an epipolar model and the generated vector field values. The mobile radiography apparatus is calibrated according to the associated model epipolar geometry. At least a portion of the tomosynthesis image is reconstructed and displayed.

A system (100) includes an imaging system (102) and a dedicated image review station computing system (104). The imaging system includes an acquisition system (112 and 114) and a reconstructor (116). The dedicated image review station computing system include at least one display monitor (124), a processor (128), and memory (130) with a dedicated review station instruction. A communication channel (136) is between the imaging system and the dedicated image review computing system. The imaging system is configured to, in response to reconstructing an image with the reconstructor with data acquired by the acquisition system, automatically transmit, via the communication channel, the image to the dedicated image review computing system, which is configured to independently display selected images of a set of received images from the imaging system respectively in at least one view port generated with dedicated review station instruction executed by the processor and displayed in the at least one display monitor.
