    Abstract: The invention discloses an apparatus (2), a system (1) and a method (100) for characterization of vessels and for vessel modeling. The cross sectional area (A1) of the vessel is derived from pressure measurements (p1, p2) obtained by an instrument (3) from within the vessel. When multiple cross sectional areas (A1, A2) are derived for multiple reference positions (r1, r2) based on pressure measurements (p1, p2, p3) along the vessel, a representation (20, 30) of the vessel can be rendered, without requiring any imaging modality. Furthermore, the effect of the pulsatile blood flow on the elasticity of the vessel walls can be visualized, supporting assessment of a stenosis or an aneurysm formation along the vessel.

    Abstract: The application describes various embodiments of a medical system, a computer program, and a method related to sequential transmission of compressed medical image data. As an example, a medical system comprising a local memory storing local machine executable instructions and a local computational system. Execution of the machine executable instructions further causes the computational system to: receive a feature vector descriptive of medical image data, wherein the feature vector is configured to be input into a decoder neural network, wherein the decoder neural network is configured to output an approximation of the medical image data when receiving at least a part of the feature vector as input, wherein the feature vector comprises a ranking assigning an importance to elements of the feature vector; and sequentially transmit portions of the feature vector to a remote computational system via a network connection, wherein the portions of the features vector with a higher importance are transmitted first.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing diagnostic image data are provided in which a plurality of acquisition images of a vessel of interest having been acquired with a pre-defined acquisition method is received at a trained classifying device and classified, by the classifying device, to extract at least one quantitative feature of the vessel of interest from at least one acquisition image of the plurality of acquisition images. The at least one quantitative feature is then output associated with the at least one acquisition image while the acquisition of the diagnostic image data is still in progress and one or more adjustable image acquisition settings are adjusted based on the at least one quantitative feature to optimize the acquisition of the diagnostic image data.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to tomosynthesis. In order to further facilitate and improve the generation of three-dimensional image data, an X-ray imaging system (10) for calibration-free tomosynthesis is provided. The system comprises an imaging arrangement (12) with an X-ray detector unit (14) and an X-ray unit (16) comprising a plurality of X-ray sources (18). The system also comprises an image processing unit (20), an object receiving space (22), and a moving unit (24) for providing a relative movement between the imaging arrangement and an object of interest arranged at least partially in the object receiving space. The X-ray sources are provided in a known spatial relationship; the X-ray detector unit and the X-ray unit are also provided in a known spatial detector-sources-relationship. The moving unit provides a relative movement between the object of interest and the imaging arrangement in order to provide a plurality of system-to-object positions. The X-ray unit is configured to provide X-ray radiation to the object of interest from a plurality of different directions for each system-to-object position in order to provide a plurality of subsets of views with different viewing directions. The processing unit is configured to determine positions of the object in relation to the imaging arrangement based on the subsets of views, and to calculate a three-dimensional geometric position for each view of the subsets of views, and also to calculate a three-dimensional tomosynthesis reconstruction volume from the plurality of subsets of views.
