International Classification:

A61B005/05

US Classification:

600407000

Abstract:

A user interface () comprises an image area that is divided into a plurality of views for viewing corresponding 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional images of an anatomical region. Tool control panes (-) can be simultaneously opened and accessible. The segmentation pane () enables automatic segmentation of components of a displayed image within a user-specified intensity range or based on a predetermined intensity

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

US Classification:

600407000

Abstract:

An imaging system for automated segmentation and visualization of medical images () includes an image processing module () for automatically processing image data using a set of directives () to identify a target object in the image data and process the image data according to a specified protocol, a rendering module () for automatically generating one or more images of the target object based on one or more of the directives () and a digital archive () for storing the one or more generated images. The image data may be DICOM-formatted image data (), wherein the imaging processing module () extracts and processes meta-data in DICOM fields of the image data to identify the target object. The image processing module () directs a segmentation module () to segment the target object using processing parameters specified by one or more of the directives ().

International Classification:

G06G 7/60

US Classification:

703 11

Abstract:

Systems and methods for visualization and interactive navigation of virtual images of internal organs are provided to assist in medical diagnosis and evaluation of internal organs. In one aspect, an image data processing system () includes an image rendering system () for rendering multi-dimensional views of an imaged object from an image dataset () of the imaged object, a graphical display system () for displaying an image of a rendered view according to specified visualization parameters, an interactive navigation system () which monitors a user's navigation through a virtual image space of a displayed image and which provides user navigation assistance in the form of tactile feedback by a navigation control unit () operated by the user, upon an occurrence of a predetermined navigation event.

Assignee:

OMNYX, LLC - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
G06Q 50/24

US Classification:

705 3

Abstract:

A system and method of increasing digital pathology productivity is provided. The system accepts case information from a plurality of sources and pre-processes that information in order to present the slides in an order and orientation dictated by preference and/or reviewing standard. Upon application of the system and method, the appearance and behavior of the user interface is optimized for the user.
