Abstract
A method is provided for operating a medical imaging device when performing an imaging examination. In order to allow an improved preparation of images in the context of such an imaging examination, the method includes: providing an original image of a body region; recording an updated image of the body region; and generating a three-dimensional subsequent image from the original image and from the updated image using a previously trained artificial neural network.
Claims15
A method for operating a medical imaging device when performing an imaging examination, the method comprising:
- providing an original image of a body region;
- recording an updated image of the body region;
- and
- generating a three-dimensional subsequent image from the original image and the updated image using a previously trained artificial neural network.
A method for operating a medical imaging device when performing an imaging examination, the method comprising:
- providing an original image of a body region;
- recording an updated image of the body region;
- and
- iteratively generating a three-dimensional subsequent image from the original image and the updated image using a previously trained artificial neural network,
- wherein, in an iterative generation, the three-dimensional subsequent image is used as a new original image and a new three-dimensional subsequent image is generated together with a new updated image.
A medical imaging device for performing an imaging examination, the medical imaging device comprising:
- a providing unit configured to prepare an original image of a body region;
- an imaging unit configured to record an updated image of the body region;
- and
- a trained artificial neural network configured to generate a three-dimensional subsequent image from the original image and the updated image.
