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 information processing system in an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires an ultrasound image including an observation target and having additional information, positional information indicating a position of an ultrasound probe in a subject at time of collection of the ultrasound image, and a reference image obtained by taking an image of a region including the observation target at a time point other than the time of collection. The processing circuitry generates, based on the positional information, correspondence information in which the ultrasound image and the reference image are associated with each other. The processing circuitry causes an output unit to output the generated correspondence information.

This disclosure concerns a medical visualization system to visualize medical information for the system user, configured to: receive data representing medical information, and receive data representing the user's position and/or the direction of the user's gaze, the system comprising: a visualization device which is configured to: display an image based on the data representing the information, and adjust the position and/or the orientation of the image displayed according to the user's position and/or the direction of the gaze.

A method and system for acquiring, processing, storing, and displaying x-ray mammograms Mp tomosynthesis images Tr representative of breast slices, and x-ray tomosynthesis projection images Tp taken at different angles to a breast, where the Tr images are reconstructed from Tp images

A system includes a processor circuit that receives an extraluminal image obtained without contrast. The processor circuit receives multiple additional extraluminal images obtained without contrast as an intraluminal device is moved through a body lumen of a patient. The locations of the intraluminal device are tracked and used to form a curve. The curve is overlaid over one of the extraluminal images obtained without contrast. The curve and extraluminal image are displayed to a user and modified or confirmed. The intraluminal data points acquired by the intraluminal device are then co-registered to the extraluminal image. The extraluminal image and intraluminal data are displayed to the user.

A mobile radiography apparatus has a moveable (e.g., wheeled) transport frame and an adjustable support mounted at the frame that can include an x-ray source. Embodiments of methods and/or apparatus by which mobile radiography carts can provide a charging capability for at least one radiographic detector (e.g., removed power source, detector either separately mounted at the mobile radiography apparatus or in a detector carrier (e.g., grid holder)) mounted at the mobile radiography apparatus.

A radiographic control apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain position information about a transmission unit configured to transmit a radio wave based on a radio field intensity of the transmission unit and position information about a reception unit configured to receive the radio wave, the transmission unit being disposed on a radiographic apparatus configured to generate a radiographic image of a subject based on radiation emitted from a radiation generation apparatus, and a correction unit configured to correct the position information about the transmission unit using depth information about an area to which the radiographic apparatus belongs in an optical image captured by an imaging apparatus, the depth information being obtained from the optical image.

A medical system for use in a lithotripsy procedure may include a processor configured to receive input from a first imaging device, wherein the first imaging device may be configured to send image data representative of an image captured in a lumen of a kidney, bladder, or ureter to the processor. The processor may be configured to display the image on a display device coupled to the processor, and analyze the image to sense the presence of an object within the image. If an object was sensed within the image, the processor may analyze the image to estimate a size of the object, and display the estimate on the display device.

A system and computer-implemented method for analysing or monitoring a subject, the method comprising: identifying one or more objects of interest that have been segmented from a first image comprising any of a baseline scan, a follow-up scan or a reference image of the subject; identifying predefined landmarks of the objects; determining reference morphometries pertaining to the objects by performing morphometrics on the objects by reference to the landmarks; selecting one or more regions of interest (ROIs) from the objects according to the reference morphometries, comprising identifying respective locations of the ROIs relative to the reference morphometries; performing a first analysis of the one or more ROIs; performing at least one corresponding second analysis of the one or more ROIs in respectively at least one second image comprising any other of a baseline scan, a follow-up scan or a reference image; and generating a comparison of one or more results of the first analysis and one or more corresponding results of the second analysis.
