    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (10) for functional magnetic resonance image data acquisition. The system comprises an input unit (20), a magnetic resonance imaging “MRI” device (30), an electroencephalography “EEG” data acquisition device (40), and a processing unit (50). The input unit is configured to provide task based information to a patient, wherein the task based information extends over a period of time. The MRI device is configured to acquire functional magnetic resonance imaging “fMRI” data relating to brain activity of the patient, wherein the fMRI data extends over the period of time. The EEG device is configured to acquire EEG data relating to electrical activity of the brain of the patient, wherein the EEG data extends over the period of time. The processing unit is configured to utilize the task based information that extends over the period of time and the EEG data that extends over the period of time to determine at least one first sub-set period of time over the period of time. The processing unit is configured to determine an action associated with acquisition of the fMRI data over the at least one first sub-set period of time.

    Abstract: Provided is a method (200) for generating a combined anatomical model of a heart. The method comprises receiving (220) a non-contrast agent-enhanced ultrasound image of a left ventricular region of the heart and receiving (240) a contrast agent-enhanced ultrasound image of the left ventricular region of the heart. Image registration (260) is performed on the respective non-contrast agent-enhanced and contrast agent-enhanced ultrasound images, such that the respective images are aligned. Combined segmentation (270) of the aligned non-contrast agent-enhanced and contrast agent-enhanced ultrasound images is then carried out to generate the combined anatomical model. The combined segmentation (270) uses features of both of the aligned non-contrast agent-enhanced and contrast agent-enhanced ultrasound images as target points. Further provided is a processor arrangement adapted to implement the method and an ultrasound system comprising the processor arrangement. A computer program product comprising computer program code means adapted to implement the method is also provided.

    Abstract: The invention provides for a medical imaging system (100, 400) comprising a memory (110) storing machine executable instructions (120) and a configured artificial neural network (122). The medical imaging system further comprises a processor (104) configured for controlling the medical imaging system. Execution of the machine executable instructions causes the processor to receive (200) magnetic resonance imaging data (124), wherein the magnetic resonance imaging data is BOLD functional magnetic resonance imaging data descriptive of a time dependent BOLD signal (1100) for each of a set of voxels. Execution of the machine executable instructions further causes the processor to construct (202) a set of initial signals (126) by reconstructing the time dependent BOLD signal for each of the set of voxels using the magnetic resonance imaging data. Execution of the machine executable instructions further causes the processor to receive (204) a set of modified signals (128) in response to inputting the set of initial signals into the configured artificial neural network. The configured artificial neural network is configured for removing physiological artifacts from the set of initial signals.

    Abstract: Presented are concepts for m classifying a disease or disability of a subject. One such concept comprises obtaining interaction data associated with a subject, the interaction data being representative of the subject's interaction with a movement-based input device. The interaction data is processed with a first machine learning process to determine a set of 5 characteristics for describing the subject. The set of characteristics is then processed with a second machine-learning process to generate a classification result for the subject. An instruction is provided to the subject for directing the subject to interact with the movement-based input device, wherein the instruction defines a challenge comprising a time-varying parameter.
