    Abstract: A 3D image of a region of an object is computed from truncated cone beam projection data acquired with an x-ray device and a prior CT image representing a larger region of the object. The truncated projection data are extrapolated to derive pseudo­projection data associated with projection directions outside the detector, and an intermediate CT image is reconstructed based on the truncated projection data completed with the pseudo­projection data. The prior CT image is then registered with the intermediate CT image. Forward projection data associated with projection directions outside the detector are computed from the truncated projection data and the registered prior CT image. The 3D image is finally reconstructed based on the truncated projection data completed with the forward projection data.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for data processing. At stage 3 the position of the reference object in the reference image and its relation to a set of reference landmarks in the reference image is established at step 6. In order to enable this, the reference imaging of learning examples may be performed at step 2 and each reference image may be analyzed at step 4, the results may be stored in a suitably arranged database. In order to process the image under consideration, the image is accessed at step 11, the suitable landmark corresponding to the reference landmark in the reference image is identified at step 13 and the spatial relationship established at step 6 is applied to the landmark thereby providing the initial position of the object in the actual image. In case when for the object an imaging volume is selected, the method 1 according to the invention follows to step 7, whereby the scanning 17 is performed within the boundaries given by the thus established scanning volume. In case when for the object a model representative of the target is selected, the method 1 follows to the image segmentation step 19, whereby a suitable segmentation is performed. In case when for the model a deformable model is selected, the segmentation is performed by deforming the model thereby providing spatial boundaries of the target area. The invention further relates to an apparatus and a computer program for image processing.

    Abstract: A method for creating a model of a part of the anatomy from the scan data of several subjects is described. The method comprises the steps of collecting scan data; applying a feature detector to the scan data; converted the output of the feature detector into a common reference system; and accumulating the converted data to generate the model. It is therefore possible for the method to generate a model from the scan data of several subjects automatically. The method may also include an optional step of receiving user input to select which of the accumulated data should be included in the final model. This user input requires much less effort than manual contouring and is substantially independent of the number of subjects used to create the model.

Preferably, for reducing an amount of data to be processed at step 6 the image data is subjected to a restrictive region of interest determination. At step 9 the classified cardiac images are subjected to a an image thinning operator so that the resulting images comprise a plurality of connected image components which are further analyzed at step 14. After the thinning step 9 a labeling step 11 is performed, where different connected components in the multi-dimensional dataset are accordingly labeled. This step is preferably followed by a region growing step 13, which is constrained by binary threshold used at step 8b. For each connected image component a factor F is computed at step 14. The anatomic structure is segmented at step 16 by selecting the connected image component with factor F meeting a pre-determined criterion. After this, the segmented anatomic structure is stored in a suitable format at step 18. The invention further relates to an apparatus, a working station, a viewing station and a computer program.
