Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for navigation in 3-dimensional electronic image data.
- Image data in more than two spatial dimensions (2D) are widely used for a wide variety of applications.
- Image data in three spatial dimensions (3D) are used, for example, for SD simulations of processes, design and construction of spatial objects and for the metrological recording and optical reproduction of such objects.
- hot spots are image areas with increased intensity that indicate the presence of a tumor in the area (increased
- 3D image data of the same body from different imaging methods can be combined in a common representation, a process which is called fusion in order to obtain a more informative, more meaningful image data set.
- Data from hot spots can play a special role in the fusion, since they make it possible to view the image data of precisely these body volumes from one imaging method in the context of the image data of another imaging method.
- An image data record merged in this way contains the hot spots as a particularly identifiable partial image data record.
- An example of this can be, for example, the fusion of image data from positron emission tomography (PET) and computer tomography (CT).
- PET positron emission tomography
- CT computer tomography
- the PET data represent a diagnostic data record that contains information about certain metabolic functions of the patient's body and is therefore also referred to as functional image data or functional data record.
- PET data essentially depict soft tissues.
- the CT data also represent anatomical features, such as the bone structure, of the patient's body and therefore enable a viewer to obtain a significantly better orientation based on the patient's anatomy. A fusion of the functional PET data with the CT data therefore considerably simplifies the anatomical assignment of hot spots identified by means of PET.
- VRT Volume Rendering Technic
- a maximum intensity Projection can be used, which defines the brightest image point along each line of sight from the (virtual) viewer through the 3D object as a 2D projection image point, or a multi-planar reformatting (MPR) can be carried out at different 2D projections of the object are displayed, for example projections perpendicular to each other.
- MIP maximum intensity Projection
- MPR multi-planar reformatting
- Partial volume can be understood as a region of interest (ROI) or voxel of interest (VOI).
- ROI region of interest
- VOI voxel of interest
- the partial volume selected in this way can then be used as an independent observation volume within which the exploration is continued.
- Another 3D object proposed there is the so-called Prober, which is a 3-dimensional geometric object, for example a cube, represents.
- the Prober can be positioned like a cursor. It is used to determine samples of the volume enclosed by the Prober; in the case of a cube, these samples can be 2D projections of the volume onto the cube surfaces.
- the tools proposed in the work of M. Jahnke are used for manual exploration of partial volumes.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a method for navigating in 3D image data sets which automates the finding and determination of the 3D position of 3D partial image data sets of particular interest and their visualization and thereby facilitates them.
- the invention solves this problem by a method with the features of the first claim.
- a basic idea of the invention is to create a method for navigation in 3-dimensional electronic image data sets, in which the image data sets contain 3-dimensional partial image data sets.
- the process comprises the following process steps:
- Optical representation of at least one 2-dimensional projection of an image data record which comprises a 2-dimensional partial projection of at least one partial image data record
- the user does not have to create the further projection manually by placing a cutting plane in the original projection.
- the projection of the partial image data set is used, as it were, as an active link that, for example, can be selected by the user with a mouse or another pointing device, that is to say clicked on.
- the creation of the sectional images required for identification and for determining the position of the partial image data set is thus designed and simplified intuitively.
- Image data set used which was formed by a fusion of at least two original image data sets. In this way, navigation can be made easier for a user, in particular in image data records which have an expanded information content as a result of the merger.
- the extended one
- Information content can be used to automatically identify partial image data records that may be of interest, from which the user can then make a manual selection.
- partial image data sets are used which have all been formed from the same original image data set.
- original image data sets can be used which are particularly suitable for identifying possible partial image data sets, and a user automatically knows that the partial image data sets are among the special aspects of the original image data set used for identification were selected.
- At least one is used as the original image data record
- Image data set from a computer tomography method and one from a positron emission tomography method are used. This combination is of particular interest with regard to medical diagnostics in cancer therapy, since CT image data sets enable a viewer to find a particularly good orientation within the anatomy of a patient, while PET image data sets are particularly well suited for identifying body volumes that may be at risk of cancer ,
- the method can be carried out on a computer.
- it can either be installed on the computer, or it can be designed as a computer program product that enables the method to be executed or installed on a computer.
- FIG. 2 screen view with cutting plane and hot spots
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic view of a sectional plane with hot spots
- 5 shows a schematic view of a cut layer with hot spots
- FIG. 7 shows a schematic screen view with sectional images through a hot spot
- FIG. 1 shows a screen view of a medical image processing work station with 2D projections of a 3D image data record.
- a CT image data set is shown which has been fused with a PET image data set.
- the image data sets have been registered beforehand, that is to say oriented to one another in the correct scale and position, and recorded with all 3D information.
- the CT data record stands for an example of a volume data record that contains anatomical information
- the PET data record stands for an example of a volume data record of the same patient with functional information.
- the projection shown was obtained with the rendering methods VRT and MIP, which are examples for every type of 3D volume rendering, and with the method MPR, which is examples for each type of section plane rendering.
- the methods support two forms of so-called clipping objects: clip planes (cutting planes) and slabs (cutting layers of defined thickness).
- the images of the functional data set can both be sectional images (are on the cutting plane of the clip plane or of the slab) as well as volume images, which are then projected into the clip tarpaulin or the slab just like the anatomical data set.
- a user can switch between the volume display (MIP) and the sectional image display (MPR).
- Parameter setting of the rendering methods used parameters such as color, transparency or tissue assignment can be changed in the CT at any time in order to achieve the optimal view of the CT data record.
- parameters such as windowing, color LUT, masking (i.e. threshold values that determine the visibility of information components) can be changed at any time.
- Masking in particular is very important in order to limit the display to the hot spots as far as possible, but to hide (to “mask”) further information components of the data record that contains the hot spots so as not to over-display the anatomical information of the CT scanner.
- a blending factor that describes the mixing ratio of CT and PET display can also be set. The various parameter settings are not discussed further below.
- FIG. 2 shows a screen view 1 with a sectional plane and hot spots in a data record which in turn is fused from CT and PET data.
- the screen 1 shows only a single viewport 11, in which a sectional image through the merged image data record is indicated by dashed lines.
- the projection in the viewport 11 comprises a hot spot which can be recognized as an optically highlighted image part in the abdominal cavity of the patient's body shown.
- the highlighted part of the image can be e.g. selected with a click of the mouse to generate additional screen views. Further manual actions by a user are not necessary, therefore the screen segment 7 contains only a reduced number of buttons and tools.
- the projection from the previous figure is shown schematically. It shows the section plane 13 through the merged image data set, which consists of a projection of the CT data set 14 and the PET data set 15.
- hot spots 19 are visually highlighted by a user, e.g. through particularly bright or eye-catching coloring.
- the sectional plane 13 shown is positioned and oriented so that a user can see the hot spots 19.
- the visualization of the hot spots 19 is functionalized in such a way that the user can select one of them manually, e.g. by clicking with a mouse.
- the hot spots 19 are relatively close together and therefore cannot be analyzed by an automated method.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 show representations analogous to the previous FIGS. 2 and 3 using the same reference numerals. Instead of a cutting plane (clip plane), however, a cutting layer 16 (slab) is shown, recognizable from the illustration in FIG. 5 as a box. For the rest, reference is made to the description of the preceding figures.
- a screen view 1 with four viewports 3, 4, 5, 11 is shown schematically in FIG. According to the above description, the viewport 11 shows a functionalized projection in such a way that a user can select the hot spots 19 in the sectional plane 13, for example by clicking the mouse.
- the viewports 3, 4, 5 show sectional images 14, 15 of the merged data set in randomly selected sectional planes which do not contain the hot spots 19. These are only contained in the sectional view 17 in the sectional plane 13. For an exact localization of the hot spots 19, a representation must be selected which also shows the hot spots 19 in the further, different projections in the viewports 3, 4, 5.
- the user first selects one of the forms of representation described above in order to get an optimal view of the hot spots 19.
- a spatial rotation into the correct view and a shift of the cutting plane 13 is possible in order to focus in the hot spot 19.
- SD depth information is indirectly provided on this navigation image, which makes it possible to select the hot spot 19 with a mouse click.
- the so-called volume picking is triggered by a mouse click on the hot spot 19, which automatically focuses the screen view 1 on the hot spot 19 for the user.
- the clip tarpaulin 13 or, if applicable, the center of gravity of the slab in the viewport 11 is moved in the fusion view into the selected hot spot 19, on the other hand, all other images displayed in the other viewports 3, 4, 5 on the screen are also moved to the hot Spot 19 postponed.
- This automatically creates a screen view 1 that is optimal for the identification of the hot spots 19 for the user, without having to manually set suitable projections in rotation angle and depth in all viewports 3, 4, 5.
- the images from the viewports 3, 4, 5 are shifted into the selected hot spot 19, as is the section plane 13 in the viewport 11.
- the hot spot 19 can therefore be searched very easily in the viewport 11, and then all four viewports 3, 4, 5, 6 can be focused on the hot spot 19 with one mouse click.
- FIG. 7 shows the screen view 1 obtained as a result of the volume picking and optimized with regard to the hot spot 19 selected by the user, using the same reference numerals as in the previous figure.
- the sectional plane 13 in the viewport 11 is positioned such that the sectional image 17 shows a projection including the hot spot 19.
- the remaining images now show other mutually referencing sectional images of either an individual or the merged data records, which also each contain the hot spot 19.
- the sectional images reference each other, which is indicated by marking lines A, B, C, which run through all viewports 3, 4, 5 and through the selected hot spot 19.
- the hot spot 19 is thus localized and is optimally visible to the user.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate the focusing process, which was explained in the previous FIGS. 6 and 7 in relation to the viewport 11 there.
- FIG. 8 shows the sectional image of the merged image data record 14, 15, which contains a hot spot 19.
- the sectional plane 13 is positioned randomly and contains no projection of the hot spot 19.
- the sectional plane 13 has been shifted such that it intersects the hot spot 19 and contains a projection 17 of the merged image data set.
