Embodiment Construction

[0040] figure 1 Shown is a system 10 that may be implemented in a hospital comprising at least two x-ray imaging devices 12a, 12b, possibly of different types or manufacturers, a database 14 for storing x-ray images from the x-ray imaging devices 12 and diagnostic equipment 16 for displaying x-ray images. The devices 12a, 12b, 14, 16 may be connected via a data network, such as the PACS network 18 .

[0041] Database 14 may be any device suitable for storing a plurality of x-ray images in digital form.

[0042] Diagnostic equipment 16, which may be located in a special room where a radiologist (user) can evaluate images in the database 14, includes: a display 20 for displaying the x-ray images, a diagnostic workstation for processing the image data and commands from the user 22 and a user interface 24 in which the user can enter commands. Diagnostic workstation 22 may include a computer. User interface 24 may include a computer mouse and keyboard. Typically, a display may...

Abstract

A device 16 for displaying X-ray images, the device comprises a display 20 for displaying an X-ray image, a workstation 22 for processing image data and a user interface 24 for receiving commands from a user of the device. The user interface 24 is adapted for allowing the user to select a master image 34a and a slave image 34b from a plurality of images. The workstation 22 is adapted for transforming the slave image 34b by generating a color transformation 40 based on the master image 34a and the slave image 34b for optically adapting the slave image to the master image and by applying the color transformation 40 to the slave image 34b. The display 20 is adapted for displaying the transformed slave image 42.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for displaying an X-ray image and to a method, a computer program and a computer readable medium for visually adapting an X-ray slave image to an X-ray master image. Background technique [0002] In radiology, radiologists typically view X-ray images in pairs: older images can be presented alongside newer images. Often newer and older images are acquired by different x-ray devices (modalities) and look quite different. In this case, the radiologist may need to "see" modality-dependent differences or interactively modify one of the images as best as possible. There will always be some difference left. In general, generating x-ray images and displaying them to radiologists involves two separate systems. The first is the acquisition workstation AWS. Here, images are processed and manipulated for optimal display. One step in this process is image range correction. Here, different histogram properties (semi-automatic ...
