Problems solved by technology

[0009] The disadvantage of the known technique is that the geometric model of the movable body is constructed by using a limited number of measurement points, leading to inaccuracies in image registration due to the motion of the movable body
Another disadvantage of the known technology is that in order to obtain a geometric model of the movable body, invasive equipment is used

Embodiment Construction

[0054] figure 1An embodiment of the system according to the invention is schematically represented. The system 10 comprises an input 2 for accessing the result of the segmentation step of the image dataset and also for accessing a second dataset which is a texture image dataset. The segmentation step and processing the appropriate medical diagnostic data to generate the texture image dataset may be performed on different hardware, or alternatively it may be performed as a preliminary step to implement the invention on the same hardware. In the latter case, input 2 may be set to receive a result in any suitable form. For example, device 10 may be involved in the capture of appropriate data. At this point, all necessary data sets, such as cine scans and contrast-enhanced scans for cardiovascular imaging, can be obtained in analog form and converted into digital form using suitable A / D converters for further processing. The data set may also be received in digital form, for ex...

Abstract

The system (10) comprises an input (2) for accessing the suitable input data. The core of the system (10) is formed by a processor (4) which is arranged to operate the components of the system (10), it being the input (2), a computing unit (5), a working memory (6). The computing unit (5) preferably comprises a suitable number of executable subroutines (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, and 5f) to enable a constructing of a geometric model of the movable body based on the results of the segmentation step, finding a spatial correspondence between the first and second image dataset, mapping the texture imagedataset on geometric model, fusing the geometric model and the mapped texture image dataset. The apparatus (10) according to the invention further comprises a coder (7) arranged to code the determined region of interest in accordance to a pre-selected criterion. The criterion may be selectable from a list of valid criteria, stored in a file (7a). Preferably, the coder (7), the computing unit (5) and the processor (4) are operable by a computer program (3), preferably stored in memory (8). An output (9) is used for outputting the results of the processing, like fused image data representing the textured, preferably animated geometric model of the movable body. The invention further relates to a method for integration of medical diagnostic information and a geometric model of a movable bodyand to a computer program.

Description
