AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The development of dedicated hardware and the implementation of image processing algorithms is very time-consuming and cost-intensive
Furthermore, this dedicated development makes the hardware inflexible to be replaced due to new development of required boards or use of faster processors, as this may require re-implementation of expensive image processing algorithms

Embodiment Construction

[0014] figure 1 An example of a situation in image processing of medical images is shown, as has previously occurred in X-ray imaging (Röntgenbildgebung). Here, the raw data obtained by the X-ray detector 1 are directly fed into a digital signal processor 2 (DSP), which performs all image processing. A digital signal processor 2 is attached to an ordinary PC 3, and instruction input is performed through this processor. The image data processed by the digital signal processor 2 is input to the dedicated graphics card 4 through the direct connection 5, and the processed image data is displayed on the display 6 through the graphics card 4. The main processor of the PC 3 is not involved in image processing, but it can also receive processed image data from the digital signal processor 2 for storage for later display or further processing.

[0015] compare to, figure 2 The situation in the method of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, the raw data is collected ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for the rapid image processing of medical images, in particular fluoroscopic image recordings using image-modifying image processing algorithms on an image computer. With this method, a first part of the image processing algorithms is executed on a graphics processor of a graphics card and a second remaining part is executed on a master processor of the image computer. This division, for which standard hardware components are to be used, allows the omission of complex special developments of the hardware for the image computer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for fast image processing of medical images, in particular to a method for processing fluoroscope images by using an image-changing image processing algorithm on an image computer. Background technique [0002] In medical imaging methods such as computed tomography, x-ray angiography or magnetic resonance tomography, complex image processing must be carried out to record the images in a corresponding form. These image processings improve the image quality on the one hand, for example by noise reduction, and on the other hand highlight diagnostically relevant structures in the image for each diagnosis, for example by edge sharpening or filtering. [0003] The first is that within the scope of fluoroscopy, X-ray images of the examination area are recorded in a very fast time sequence and displayed immediately on a screen to the treating physician, thus requiring fast image processing. In modern fluoroscopy systems, it i...
