Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods to detect a moving anatomic feature during a treatment sequence based on a computed and/or a measured shortest distance between the anatomic feature and at least a portion of an imaging system.

An apparatus and method for reducing the blurriness of tomographic (3D) images constructed from a gamma camera system with one or more VASH (variable-angle slant-hole) collimators. A conventional gamma camera with a VASH collimator exhibits a loss of spatial resolution from the fact that the gamma-ray is entering the detector element at an angle other than normal to the surface. This depth dependence of the spatial localization causes a blurring of the spatial resolution, which is dependent on the incident angle relative to the normal, on the thickness of the detector element and on the stopping length of the gamma-ray in the detector element material. The invention provides an apparatus and method for correcting the spatial location where the gamma ray is recorded to improve the spatial resolution of the system.

A clip image to be used as a highlight image, a replay image, or the like in a broadcast or the like is enabled to be generated easily and precisely. For this purpose, an information processing apparatus performs first processing for converting a received image signal into an image signal for real-time processing and transmitting the image signal to an analysis engine that is located outside. Furthermore, the information processing apparatus performs second processing for receiving event extraction information that has been received from the analysis engine and generating setting information of a clip image, by using the event extraction information.

The invention is directed to a system (100) for image processing, which is capable of improving an usability of an imaging device during an intervention.

An electronic device includes a processor configured to generate a position movement prediction field indicating prediction of a potential positional change of a branch path by a patient's biological activity for one or more branch paths based on a blood vessel image of a reference frame, correct guidewire information extracted from a blood vessel image of a target frame with respect to a catheter position of the reference frame, and select a branch path to dispose the guidewire information, among one or more branch paths of a blood vessel region based on the position movement prediction field and the corrected guidewire information; and a display configured to visualize the guidewire information on the selected branch path.

A cannister system for containing a catheter, the cannister including a drive mechanism for driving the catheter from the cannister and into a luminal network of a patient, the cannister including an entrance point for insertion of a tool into the catheter.
