Abstract: A method for processing volume image data obtains two-dimensional projection images of a subject on an image detector, wherein each of the images has the detector and a radiation source at a different scan angles. The image data is arranged as an image stack with corresponding pixel data from the detector in register for each of the images in the stack. A partial subset of projection images showing a metal object is identified. Information relative to the metal object propagates from the partial subject of projection images to the remaining images of the stack. For each of one or more stacked projection images, region growing defines a metal mask and adjusts image data values defined by the mask. The volume image data is reconstructed using region growing results. A 2D image is rendered and displayed from the reconstructed volume image data.

Abstract: An ultrasound method obtains a desired view and/or orientation of the anatomy of interest for an exam using a transducer. The ultrasound image is captured according to a measurement protocol for the exam. An automated measurement tool is initiated according to sensing of an operator action. A measurement from a region of interest of the desired view is obtained. The measurement or display is concluded according to a sensed operator action.

Abstract: A method for rib suppression in a volume chest x-ray image, executed at least in part by a computer captures a first set of unsegmented projection images, each at a corresponding angle, and forms a second set of segmented projection images by detecting rib features in a first projection image to form a first segmented projection image and generating a base model according to the detected rib features for the first projection image. Each of one or more additional projection images from the first set is processed to add members to the second set by a repeated sequence of generating a predictive model; detecting rib features using the predictive model; adjusting the base model according to detected rib features; and correcting rib detection in one or more members of the second set. The volume chest x-ray image is reconstructed according to the segmented projection images and is displayed.

Abstract: A method for radiographic imaging obtains a radiographic image of a patient's chest and processes the obtained image to generate a default radiographic image and a bone-enhanced image. At least a portion of one or more ribs within the default radiographic image is detected and a rib mask generated according to the at least the detected portion of the one or more ribs. The rib mask is applied to the bone-enhanced image to define masked enhanced image content that includes the detected at least the portion of one or more ribs. A composite image that combines the masked enhanced image content with the default radiographic image is generated and displayed.

Abstract: A method for clavicle suppression in a chest x-ray image. The method identifies the lung fields in the x-ray image and detects at least one portion of a clavicle ridge that lies outside the lung fields. Edges of a clavicle on each side of the detected clavicle ridge are detected, edge detection extended for the clavicle edges into the lung fields, and the clavicle defined within the x-ray image according to the edge detection. The clavicle is suppressed within the x-ray image to generate a clavicle-suppressed x-ray image and the clavicle-suppressed x-ray image is displayed, stored, or transmitted.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a rib suppressed radiographic image using deep learning computation. The method includes using a convolutional neural network module trained with pairs of a chest x-ray image and its counterpart bone suppressed image. The bone suppressed image is obtained using a bone suppression algorithm applied to the chest x-ray image. The convolutional neural network module is then applied to a chest x-ray image or the bone suppressed image to generate an enhanced bone suppressed image.

Abstract: A method acquires a reconstructed tomographic volume image of anatomy of a patient and constructs a primary axis for a bone of interest in the imaged anatomy. The method forms a sectioned image of the bone in the volume image according to a first plane that is defined to extend along the bone and to extend through two or more articular surfaces. A primary axis for the bone is estimated, wherein the primary axis is midway between outer edges of the bone image that intersect the first sectioning plane. The bone is sectioned in the volume image by a second plane that is orthogonal to the first plane and that extends through the estimated primary axis. The method recalculates the position of the constructed primary axis according to the sectioning of the bone by the second plane. The recalculated constructed primary axis for the bone of interest is displayed.

Abstract: An imaging method, executed at least in part by a computer, tracks the disposition of surgical supplies used in an operation and identifies a radiographic imaging technique for detecting a retained surgical foreign object according to the tracking. One or more radiographic images are acquired in the operating room. The acquired image content is analyzed to identify one or more candidate foreign objects. At least a portion of the acquired image content is displayed with the one or more candidate foreign objects in the acquired image content highlighted.

Abstract: A method for characterizing a bone joint of a patient, the method executed at least in part by a computer, accesses 3-D volume image content that includes the bone joint and automatically segments the bone joint volume image content from background content to define at least a first bone surface and a second bone surface that is spaced apart from and faces the first bone surface. One or more distances between at least a first point on the first bone surface and one or more points on the second bone surfaces are computed. The method displays at least the first and second bone surfaces, wherein the display appearance is conditioned by the one or more computed distances. The method displays, stores, or transmits data relating to the one or more computed distances.
