Method for generating a medical image and corresponding data processing unit and computer software

Abstract

In a method for generation of a medical image, starting from an acquired data set of an organ to be depicted, a magnification factor and / or an image section to be depicted are automatically determined dependent on the organ to be depicted. Based on this a medical image is generated from the data set. A data processing unit for medical images is fashioned for implementation of such a method and computer software implements such a method when it is executed on a data processing unit.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method of generating medical images and a corresponding data processing unit and computer software. Background technique

[0002] When judging medical images, users (such as doctors) must browse and judge a large number of images in the shortest possible time. During this process, the user usually prioritizes his attention on the organ that is decisive for the diagnosis of his medical problem. Since important medical information is often hidden in a small area of ​​medical images, and most of the current medical images are displayed in the form of digital images, users will enlarge the corresponding image segments in order to make a detailed analysis of the information. more efficient diagnosis. When the user has to sequentially evaluate a large number of medical images produced by means of computed tomography or magnetic resonance tomography (as is the case, for example, with the identification of digital tomographic image...
