    Abstract: A method for processing image data includes obtaining a first set of 3D volumetric image data. The 3D volumetric image data includes a volume of voxels. Each voxel has an intensity. The method further includes obtaining a local voxel noise estimate for each of the voxels of the volume. The method further includes processing the volume of voxels based at least on the intensity of the voxels and the local voxel noise estimates of the voxels. An image data processor (124) includes a computer processor that at least one of: generate a 2D direct volume rendering from first 3D volumetric image data based on voxel intensity and individual local voxel noise estimates of the first 3D volumetric image data, or registers second 3D volumetric image data and first 3D volumetric image data based at least one individual local voxel noise estimates of second and first 3D volumetric image data sets.

    Abstract: The invention provides a method for guiding the acquisition of an ultrasound image. A 3D ultrasound image is acquired by an ultrasound probe at a first position and an anatomical structure is identified within the 3D ultrasound image. A target imaging plane is estimated based on the identified anatomical structure and it is determined whether the target imaging plane is present within the 3D ultrasound image. If the target imaging plane is present, a displacement between a central plane of the 3D ultrasound image and the target plane is determined. If the displacement is below a predetermined threshold, the target imaging plane is extracted and if the displacement is above the predetermined threshold, an instruction to acquire a 3D ultrasound image with the ultrasound probe at a second position, different from the first position, is generated based on the displacement. The invention further provides a method for estimating a target imaging plane. A central plane of a 3D ultrasound image is obtained, wherein the central plane contains at least part of an anatomical 40 structure and abounding box is generated around the anatomical structure. The bounding box is divided into a grid having a plurality of grid points and, for each grid point; an offset is estimated between the central plane and the target imaging plane. Finally, coordinates of the target imaging plane are estimated based on the offset for each grid point of the bounding box.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining first image data that includes voxel representing a structure of interest. The structure of interest includes a plurality of different sub-structures. The method further includes segmenting a volume of the first image data that includes only a single sub-structure for each of the plurality of different sub-structures. The method further includes creating a different local coordinate system for each of the different sub-structures for each of the volumes. The method further includes visually presenting the structure of interest through separate visual presentations of sets of reformatted images for each of the individual plurality of different sub-structures. A set of reformatted images for a sub-structure includes different cut planes generated from a corresponding segmented volume of the segmented volumes and the local coordinate system for the sub-structure.
