Abstract
At least one embodiment of the present invention relates to a method, a device and/or a computer program product for creating a (three- or four-dimensional) model from a number of different image datasets from a number of modalities. To this end, in at least one embodiment, the image datasets are fitted into a representation provided, the different image datasets being automatically enriched with contour lines and integrated into the representation. The model is created from this.
Claims20
Computer-implemented method for creating a model from a number of medical image datasets, comprising:
- providing a number of medical image datasets, the medical image datasets being acquired or having been acquired from same or from different modalities;
- automatically creating contour lines in the medical image datasets provided;
- providing a representation;
- semi-automatically fitting the created contour lines into the representation provided, and merging the provided medical image datasets to create the model for the medical image datasets;
- and
- displaying the created model for the medical image datasets.
A computer-implemented device for creating a model from a number of medical image datasets, comprising:
- at least one input interface to a number of different modalities, with each respective one of the modalities being designed to provide at least one medical image dataset, the number of medical image datasets being acquired or having been acquired from different modalities via the input interface;
- at least one contour module, designed for automatic creation of contour lines in the medical image datasets provided, received via the input interface;
- an archive, designed for providing at least one representation;
- an integrator, designed for semi-automatic fitting of the medical image datasets into the representation provided and for merging the medical image datasets to create the model for the medical image datasets;
- and
- a graphical user interface, designed for displaying the calculated model for the medical image datasets.
