    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for providing a synthetic representation of a vascular structure. It is described to provide (210) at least one 2D X-ray image comprising 2D X-ray image data of a vascular structure of a patient's body part is provided. A 3D model of the body part is provided (220), the 3D model comprising a 3D modelled vascular structure. A 2D projection of the 3D model of the body part is determined (230), the 2D projection of the 3D model of the body part comprising a 2D projection of the 3D modelled vascular structure. The 3D model of the body part is transformed (240). The transform of the 3D model of the body part comprises a determination of the pose of the 3D model of the body part such that a 2D projection of the 3D modelled vascular structure associated with the transformed 3D model of the body part is representative of the 2D X-ray image data of the vascular structure of the patient's body part. A medical report is generated (250) based on information determined from the 3D model.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for interacting with vessel images, the device (14) comprising: an interface unit (22); a processing unit (20); wherein the interface unit (22) comprises: a display (21); and an input setup (23); wherein the display (21) is configured to display a vessel image (24); wherein the input setup (23) is configured to receive a user input in relation to the vessel image (24); wherein the processing unit (20) is configured to: determine, for at least one vessel (26) in the vessel image (24), a vessel contour (30); determine, from the user input, an identifier position (36) in the vessel image (24); indicate at least a portion (38) of the vessel contour (30) in the vessel image (24), if the determined identifier position (36) is spaced apart from the vessel contour (30) by a distance (37) within a predefined distance range; determine, from the user input, a drag direction (42); and move the indicated portion (38) along the vessel contour (30) based on the determined drag direction (42).

    Abstract: An information retrieval system (IPS). The system comprises an input interface (IN) for receiving a query related to an object of interest. A concept mapper (CM) is configured to map the query to one or more associated concept entries of a hierarchic graph data structure (ONTO). The entries in said structure encode linguistic descriptors of components of a model (GM) for said object (OB). A metric-mapper (MM) is configured to map the query to one or more metric relationship descriptors. A geo-mapper (GEO) is configured to map said concept entries against the geometric model linked to the hierarchic graph data structure to obtain spatio-numerical data associated with said linguistic descriptors. A metric component (MTC) is configured to compute one or more metric or spatial relationships between said object components based on the spatio-numerical data and the one or more metric relationship descriptors.

    Abstract: During a medical intervention such as an angiography, the X-ray examination equipment (such as that mounted on a C-arm) produces a very large number of imaging frames of the intervention, as it progresses. This information contains frame sequences which can be effectively used to improve a medical report of the intervention. The sequence will contain sequences which contain similar clinical information though, and these frames may be considered to be redundant and not useful for inclusion in the medical report. The aspects detailed herein enable a selection of non-redundant sequences and/or frames, based on contextual information, obtained from the sequence of images, and/or other medical equipment, during an intervention. In this way, the redundancy inherent in the original frame sequence can be removed, leaving a set of prepared candidate sequences for insertion into a multimedia or documentary medical report.
