    Abstract: A method includes determining a change in a volume of a tissue of interest located in at least two data sets between the at least two data sets. The at least two image data sets include a first image data set acquired at a first time and a second image data set acquired at a second time, and the first and second times are different. The method includes generating a rendering which includes a region in which the tissue of interest is located and indicia that indicates a magnitude of the change across the region. The region is superimposed over the rendering, which is generated based on at least one of the at least two image data sets, and linked to a corresponding image respectively in the at least two image data sets including voxels representing tissue of interest. The method includes visually presenting the rendering in a graphical user interface.

    Abstract: A method includes displaying a background image on a display screen. The method further includes receiving, from an input device, a signal indicative of a free hand line being drawn over the background image. The signal includes coordinates of points of the free hand line with respect to the display screen. The free hand line is independent of content represented in the background image. The method further includes storing the signal in a storage device. The method further includes generating a smooth stiff line based on the stored signal. The method further includes displaying the smooth stiff line over the background image.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus configured to display an aortic valve image and an indicator when the aortic valve is in its open-state and/or when the valve is in its closed-state. The indicator is supposed to be in an overlay to the image of the aortic valve, such that a physician can see on the same display image the information needed to advance a guide wire or catheter through the aortic valve of a heart. This may prevent damaging ensures not to damage the aortic valve. The physician receives the relevant information, when the aortic valve is in its open-state and thus being in a state to be passed by the catheter. The information, whether the aortic valve is in its open-state or in its closed-state, corresponds to the systolic phase and the distal phase of the heart, respectively. The information, when the heart is in its systolic phase and when it is in the diastolic phase may be extracted from an ECG measurement. From the detection of these cardiac phases, the closed-state of the valve and/or the open-state of the valve can be estimated using general knowledge about flood flow during the cardiac cycle.

    Abstract: A system (100) for segmenting a coronary artery vessel tree (182) of a patient heart in a three dimensional (3D) cardiac image (120) includes a coronary volume definition unit (150) and a coronary artery segmentation unit (180). The coronary volume definition unit (150) sets a spatial boundary (210, 220) from internal and external surfaces of heart tissues in the 3D cardiac image based on a fitted heart model (200). The coronary artery segmentation unit (180) segments the coronary artery vessel tree (182) in the 3D cardiac image using a segmentation algorithm with a search space limited by the spatial boundary set from the internal and external surfaces of the heart tissues.
