Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of detecting centerline of a vessel is provided. The method comprises steps of acquiring a 3D image volume, initializing a centerline, initializing a Kalman filter, predicting a next center point using the Kalman filter, checking validity of the prediction made using the Kalman filter, performing template matching, updating the Kalman filter based on the template matching and repeating the steps of predicting, checking, performing and updating for a predetermined number of times. Methods of automatic vessel segmentation and temporal tracking of the segmented vessel is further described with reference to the method of detecting centerline.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To isolate a short-circuited sensor cell for a highly reliable operation of a sensor array to neglect an influence onto imaging performance, as to an array of a finely machined ultrasonic transducer. SOLUTION: The present invention provides a device having a sensor array and a number of bus lines. Each of sensors is connected electrically to each of the bus lines and includes a large number of groups 58 of the finely machined sensor cells. The sensor cell groups for the specified sensor are electrically connected each other via the bus line with the sensor connected thereto, and each of the sensor cell groups includes the large number of finely machined sensor cells 2 connected electrically each other, and not disconnectable switchingly each other. The device further includes a means (for example, short-circuiting protection module including a fuse or current sensor circuit, and an electric isolation switch) for isolating anyone of the sensor cell groups from the related bus line, in response to the fact that the anyone out of the large number of finely machined sensor cells in anyone of the sensor cell groups is short-circuited to grounding.

Abstract: La présente technique propose la fabrication et/ou l'utilisation d'une sonde ultrasonore configurée pour acquérir des données non d'imagerie en plus de données d'imagerie. En particulier, la sonde ultrasonore comprend un transducteur ultrasonore micro-usiné (48) formé sur la surface d'un substrat (44) en utilisant des techniques de microsystèmes électromécaniques ou d'autres techniques associées à la fabrication des composants à semiconducteur. Des capteurs non d'imagerie (46) sont formés sur le substrat, soit sur la surface soit à l'intérieur, ou sur un substrat proche du substrat sur lequel est formé le transducteur. Les capteurs non d'imagerie peuvent être utilisés pour acquérir des données non d'imagerie conjointement avec l'acquisition de données d'imagerie par le transducteur.

Abstract: Es wird ein automatisches Verfahren zur Erkennung eines Krankheitszustandes vorgestellt. Das Verfahren umfasst die Identifizierung einer Knochenoberfläche in einem oder mehreren Bilddatensätzen, wobei der eine oder die mehreren Datensätze einer interessierenden Region in einem interessierenden Objekt entsprechen. Ferner umfasst das Verfahren die Segmentierung einer Gelenkkapselregion in Übereinstimmung mit dem einen oder den mehreren Bilddatensätzen basierend auf einer entsprechenden identifizierten Knochenoberfläche. Zusätzlich umfasst das Verfahren die Analyse der segmentierten Gelenkkapselregion zur Identifizierung des Krankheitszustandes. Es werden auch Systeme sowie ein nicht-transitorisches computerlesbares Medium vorgestellt, welche zur Durchführung des automatischen Verfahrens zur Erkennung eines Krankheitszustandes konfiguriert sind.

Abstract: The reconfigurable ultrasound array disclosed herein is one that allows groups of subelements to be connected together dynamically so that the shape of the resulting element can be made to match the shape of the wave front. This can lead to improved performance and/or reduced channel count. Reconfigurability can be achieved using a switching network. A methodology and an algorithm are disclosed that allows the performance of this switching network to be improved by properly choosing the configuration of the switching network.
