Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Described herein is a technology for enhanced visualization of medical image data. In one implementation, a region of interest is identified in a first set of images along at least one viewing direction. Based on the first set of images, a second set of images is reconstructed to include at least one selectively enhanced rendering of the region of interest. The selectively enhanced rendering may include a three-dimensional rendering or any other type of enhanced rendering to facilitate detection of abnormalities.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system for visualizing medical image data, comprising: a memory device for storing non-transitory computer readable program code; and a processor in communication with the memory device, the processor being operative with the computer readable program code to: (i) receive a first set of images of a subject along at least one viewing direction, wherein the first set of images is acquired by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, computed tomography (CT),…
