US Patent:

7890155, Feb 15, 2011

Filed:

Sep 28, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/904965

Inventors:

Michael Burns - Princeton NJ, US
Martin Haidacher - Rauris, AT
Wolfgang Wein - Princeton NJ, US

Assignee:

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. - Malvern PA

International Classification:

A61B 5/05

US Classification:

600407, 600424, 600462, 600466

Abstract:

A method for visualizing one or more objects of interest within a volume of imaging data includes the steps of receiving a volume of imaging data and displaying the one or more objects of interest within the volume by adaptively changing the amount of information displayed from the volume based on (1) a viewing direction of the volume, (2) a position of the one or more objects of interest within the volume, and (3) importance values of materials within the volume.

Appl. No.:

12/243224

Inventors:

Ali Khamene - Princeton NJ, US
Frederik Bender - Denkendorf, DE
Wolfgang Wein - Princeton NJ, US

Assignee:

Siemens Aktiengesellschaft - München

International Classification:

A61B 5/05

US Classification:

600424, 600433, 600434

Abstract:

A method of determining a three-dimensional (3D) position of a catheter tip includes: compensating a 2D position of the tip of the catheter for respiratory motion to generate a compensated 2D catheter position, generating weighted sample points around the compensated 2D catheter position, determining correspondent points of the weighted sample points in a 3D image, computing a weighted mean and a weighted covariance of each correspondent point, and determining the 3D position of the catheter tip in the 3D image from a fusion of the weighted means and weighted covariances.

G06K 9/00
G09G 5/00

US Classification:

382294, 382128, 345648

Abstract:

Exemplary systems and methods for performing registration applications are provided. An exemplary system includes a central processing unit (CPU) for transferring a plurality of images to a graphics processing unit (GPU); wherein the GPU performs a registration application on the plurality of images to produce a registration result, and wherein the GPU returns the registration result to the CPU. An exemplary method includes the steps of transferring a plurality of images from a central processing unit (CPU) to a graphics processing unit (GPU); performing a registration application on the plurality of images using the GPU; transferring the result of the step of performing from the GPU to CPU.
