    摘要: A technique for prioritizing portions of compressed multi-resolution medical image data to be processed. More relevant portions of medical image data are compressed at a higher resolution than less relevant portions of medical image data. A mask is created from the image data and used to assign data compression quality factors to corresponding image blocks in the image data. The image data in each region is compressed based on their assigned quality factor. During processing of the compressed image data, the compressed image data and the mask are accessed. The mask is used to direct the processing of the compressed image data. Depending upon the application, the mask can be used to direct that the image data for the regions of most relevance be processed before the image data for the regions of lesser relevance. However, the mask can be used to direct that the image data for the regions of lesser relevance be processed before the image data for the regions of most relevance.

    摘要: A technique for selecting portions of a multi-resolution medical image data set to be stored and the portions of the multi-resolution medical image data set to be discarded in order to reduce the overall amount of image data that is stored for each image data set. The selection is based on the clinical purpose for obtaining the medical image data. The clinical purpose for obtaining the medical image is used to define regions of interest in the medical image. At each resolution level of the multi-resolution medical image data set, the regions of interest are stored at the full resolution, while the remaining portions of the medical image are stored at a lesser resolution. A three-dimensional bit mask of the regions of interest is produced from a segmentation of the regions of interest. The segmentation list and the multi-resolution medical image data set are decomposed into multiple resolution levels. Each resolution level has a low frequency component and several high frequency components. The low frequency portions at each resolution level may be stored in their entirety. The segmentation list is used to select the regions in the high frequency portions of the multi-resolution image data that correspond to the regions of interest and those regions that do not. The regions in the high frequency portions of the multi-resolution image data that correspond to the region of interest are stored. Those regions in the high frequency portions of the multi-resolution image data that do not correspond to a region of interest are discarded.

    摘要: A registration image is aligned or registered with a reference image by user interaction. The registration image is segmented into a hierarchy of elements defining a mesh having more than one level. At each level, individual elements may be selected by the user, translated, rotated and scaled with respect to the remainder of the registration image and to the reference image. Refinement of the user registration is facilitated by allowing the user to define further levels in the segmentation where each of the elements at the further levels may be separately manipulated in a similar manner. Interpolation may be performed between the moved or altered elements and between the elements and the remainder of the registration image to obtain a more satisfactorily registered image. The technique may be used with other interpolation and registration processes.

    摘要: A patient-specific electronic medical record may include past imaging information, as well as parameter settings, protocol identifications, and any other information extracted from the previous imaging data or derived from such data. The EMR may also include non-imaging data, such as clinical data, and results of various examinations performed of a non-imaging type. The electronic medical record may be used for a range or purposes, such as diagnosing patient conditions, recommending treatments, recognition of at-risk patients for pre-emptive and reactive care, and so forth. Moreover, the information in the EMR may be used directly for setting imaging system parameters in future imaging acquisition and post-acquisition processing.

    摘要: A technique for selecting portions of a medical image data set to be stored and portions of the medical image data set to be discarded in order to reduce the overall amount of image data that is stored for each image data set. The selection is based on the clinical purpose for obtaining the medical image data. The clinical purpose for obtaining the medical image is used to select an atlas. The atlas is labeled with information that establishes the relative relevance of various regions of the atlas. The atlas is aligned to the image and the labeling information is transferred from the atlas to the medical image. Each region of the medical image is then processed based on the labeling information received from the atlas. The regions of greatest relevance are stored at their full resolution. Regions of lesser relevance are stored at less than the full resolution. Finally, regions of no relevance are discarded and not stored at all.

    摘要: A technique for selecting portions of a multi-resolution medical image data set to be stored and the portions of the multi-resolution medical image data set to be discarded in order to reduce the overall amount of image data that is stored for each image data set. The selection is based on the clinical purpose for obtaining the medical image data. The clinical purpose for obtaining the medical image is used to select a segmentation algorithm to segment the image data into several regions based on their relevance to the purpose for obtaining the image data. A mask is created from the segmented data. The mask is used to assign data compression quality factors to corresponding regions in the image data. The image data in each region is compressed based on their assigned quality factor. The image data that is highly relevant is compressed with lossless data compression. The image data in regions of lesser relevance are compressed with lossy data compression. The image data that is of no relevance for the purpose that the image data was obtained is discarded.
