    摘要: In a method and apparatus for analyzing medical imaging data of a subject from an imaging modality using a tracer, data from detection of tracer emission events at least one region of a scanned imaging volume are obtained, and the data processed to establish sub-periods or time points within a scan period for the emission events. A rate of change of emission events per unit time for a given region is then calculated, for example by obtaining a number of emission events in each sub-period in the given region, and fitting a line through the values for the sub-periods.

    摘要: A method is described for acquiring and analysing the data produced by Positron Emission Tomography (PET), which method provides for an accurate estimation of vascular compartment volume, VB. An MRI scan and the PET scan is performed simultaneously and the results of the former is used to derive a value for VB. The value so derived is then used in pharmacokinetic modelling along with the results of the functional scan.

    摘要: A method of computing a contour, such as the endocardial boundary in an ultrasound long-axis view of the heart, is disclosed. A plurality of points are input, each point being indicative of a predetermined landmark point in the image. A preliminary contour is then derived based on the input points and a known average contour shape which has been obtained from a database of contours derived from previous images. Finally, the preliminary contour is deformed to fit features identified in the image by a feature-extraction algorithm, to obtain the computed contour.

    摘要: A technique for assessing the progression of multilateral dysfunction, e.g. bilateral diseases is described. The process consists of two stages: firstly, a ‘health measure’ is computed for each of the features of the multi-lateral dysfunction. One example is in terms of the progression of Parkinson's disease by applying it to the uptake of imaging agent in the two striata of the brain, which can be viewed using SPECT imaging. In this example, a characteristic graph for each striatum is matched to a family of such graphs in order to quantify the state of each striatum as a health measure. Then the lower health measure is plotted against the higher health measure. This point is then projected onto a previously computed disease progression trajectory which is used to assign a percentage to the progression of the disease, from 0% normal to 100% extreme progression of the disease. In addition to the disease progression percentage, the technique also provides a confidence measure of the accuracy of this estimation. The invention is applicable to other forms of multilateral dysfunction, including other human or animal conditions and dysfunction in non-biological systems such as mechanical, electrical or electronic systems.

    摘要: In a method or apparatus of comparing two image data sets from medical imaging data of a subject, a first, three-dimensional image data set of the subject is obtained. A second, two-dimensional image data set of the subject is also obtained. The first data set is registered with the second data set. Data from the first, three-dimensional image data set is processed to determine a voxel in the first data set which corresponds to a given pixel in the second, two-dimensional image data set.
