TLDR
In this paper, a volume visualization technique for generating a 3D visualization image of an internal organ using volume visualization techniques is presented. But this technique is not suitable for the visualization of complex 3D objects.Abstract:
Methods for generating a three-dimensional visualization image of an object, such as an internal organ, using volume visualization techniques are provided. The techniques include a multi-scan imaging method; a multi-resolution imaging method; and a method for generating a skeleton of a complex three dimension object. The applications include virtual cystoscopy, virtual laryngoscopy, virtual angiography, among others.read more

Computerized workflow method for stent planning and stenting procedure
Thomas Redel,Estelle Camus +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the characteristics of a lesion to be stented are determined from a 3D planning image of the region and selection of an actual stent for stenting the lesion is made with computer assisted analysis of the lesions based on the characteristics.

Method and apparatus for segmentation of an object
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method and an apparatus for segmentation of an object in a 2D or 3D image data set by extracting a path along the object.
Patent
Medical navigation system with tool and/or implant integration into fluoroscopic image projections and method of use
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a user interface system for displaying a representation of a tool or implant with respect to an image, which includes a processor configured to establish a surface boundary for a region of interest depict in the image, and a display configured to dynamically display the image and the representation to a user.

3D object recognition
Jan Erik Solem,Fredrik Kahl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a statistical shape model is used to recover 3D shapes from a 2D representation of the 3D object and compare the recovered 3D shape with known 3D to 2D representations of at least one object of the object class.
