    Abstract: When constructing compensators for radiation therapy using ion or proton radiation beams, a computer-aided compensator editing method includes overlaying an initial 3D compensator model on an anatomical image of a target mass (e.g., a tumor) in a patient, along with radiation dose distribution information. A user manipulates pixels or voxels in the compensator model on a display, and a processor automatically adjusts the dose distribution according to the user edits. The user iteratively adjusts the compensator model until the dose distribution is optimized, at which time the optimized compensator model is stored to memory and/or output to a machining device that constructs a compensator from

    Abstract: A scanner (18) acquires images of a subject. A 3D model (52) of an organ is selected from an organ model database (50) and dropped over an image of an actual organ. A best fitting means (62) globally scales, translates and/or rotates the model (52) to best fit the actual organ represented by the image. A user uses a mouse (38) to use a set of manual tools (68) to segment and manipulate the model (52)1:o match the image data. The set of tools (68) includes: a Gaussian tool (72) for deforming a surface portion of the model along a Gaussian curve, a spherical push tool (80) for deforming the surface portion along a spherical surface segment, and a pencil tool (90) for manually drawing a line to which the surface portion is redefined.

    Abstract: A method for selecting vertices for performing deformable registration of imaged objects is provided. The selected vertices form corresponding pairs, each pair including a vertex from a first imaged object and a vertex from a second imaged object. The corresponding vertex pairs are sorted in order of distance between the vertices making up the corresponding vertex pair. The corresponding vertex pair with the greatest distance is given top priority. Corresponding vertex pairs that lie within a selected distance from the selected corresponding vertex pair are discarded. In this manner, the number of vertex pairs used for deformable registration of the imaged objects is reduced and therefore allows for processing times that are clinically acceptable.

    Abstract: The method according to the invention is arranged to segment a surface in a multi-dimensional dataset comprising a plurality of images, which may be acquired using a suitable data-acquisition unit at a preparatory step 2. It is possible that data processing and data acquisition steps are temporally or geographically distanced, so that at step 4 the results of a suitable data segmentation step 6 are accessed, whereby said results comprise portions of the image which are subsequently used to segment the surface using the method of the invention. Next, at step 8 a suitable plurality of image features resembling possible spatial positions of the surface conceived to be segmented are selected and accessed. The features are subsequently matched for all image portions at step 10, whereby for each feature a matching error is assigned. At step 14 a pre-defined selectivity factor is accessed defining a maximum allowable variable fraction of the features having largest matching errors which can be discarded. The segmentation of the sought surface is performed at step 16, whereby the discarded features are not taken into account for evaluating the quality of fit of a candidate deformation of the. The resulting surface is being displayed on a suitable display means at step 18, whereby it is preferably overlaid on original, notably diagnostic data for user's analysis. In case when the user is satisfied with the result of the segmentation, the segmented surface is stored at step 18. Otherwise, the process is returned to step 14, where a further selectivity factor is accessed. It is possible that the further selectivity factor is altered at step 11 by a user's input, or, alternatively it may be provided by a certain alteration algorithm 13. The invention further relates to a system, a computer program, a workstation, a viewing station, a computer program and a user interface.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of segmenting a three-dimensional structure, contained in an object, from one or more two-dimensional images which represent a slice of the object. The method utilizes a deformable model whose surface is formed by a network of meshes which connect network points on the surface of the model to one another. First there are determined the meshes which intersect at least one image and a point on the surface of the structure to be segmented is searched along a search line which traverses the mesh and extends in the image. Subsequently, the position of the network points of the model is calculated anew. These steps are repeated a number of times and the model ultimately obtained, that is, after several deformations, is considered to be the segmentation of the three-dimensional structure from the two-dimensional images.
