A visualization system for displaying volumetric renderings includes a display, a user input actuator that is movable over a first range, a second range, and a third range, and a processor. The second range is located between the first range and the third range. The processor is configured to generate a first volumetric rendering according to a first transfer function when the user input actuator is positioned in the first range, and generate the first volumetric rendering according to a second transfer function when the user input actuator is positioned in the third range. The second transfer function is different than the first transfer function. The processor is further configured to generate the first volumetric rendering according to a blending of the first transfer function and the second transfer function when the user input actuator is positioned in the second range, and display the first volumetric rendering on the display.

System and method for displaying volumetric images

Methods and systems for viewing images. One system includes a source of images, a computer, and a screen. The computer is configured to generate a graphical user interface or GUI. The GUI includes a first window in which one or more of the images are displayed. The GUI is displayed on the screen and the graphical user interface module generates an output or modifies the GUI in response to user input (e.g., tap, click, etc.). In response to the input, the graphical user interface generates an image-navigation map. The image-navigation map is displayed in a foreground of the first window and the one or more images are in displayed in a background of the first window. The image-navigation map includes one or more thumbnail images of at least one of the one or more images.

Overlay maps for navigation of intraoral images

Methods and systems for generating images. One system includes a processor. The processor is configured to receive image generation settings, receive projection data generated by a CT scan of an object, and automatically generate a first three-dimensional data set based on the projection data, wherein the first three-dimensional data set has a first field-of-view of the object. The processor is also configured to automatically generate a second three-dimensional data set based on the projection data and the image generation settings. The second three-dimensional data set has a second field-of-view of the object smaller than the first field-of-view in at least one dimension. In one embodiment, the second three-dimensional data set is transmitted to a service provider over at least one network.

Multiple image generation from a single patient scan

Methods and systems for viewing images. One system includes a source of images, a computer, and a screen. The computer includes a processor and a user interface module configured to generate a graphical user interface or GUI. The GUI includes a first window in which one or more of the images are displayed. The GUI is displayed on the screen and the graphical user interface module generates an output or modifies the GUI in response to user input (e.g., tap, click, etc.). In response to the input, the graphical user interface generates an image-navigation map. The image-navigation map is displayed in a foreground of the first window and the one or more images are in displayed in a background of the first window. The image-navigation map includes one or more thumbnail images of at least one of the one or more images.

Systems and methods for inspecting data generated during a scan of an object. One system includes a processor. The processor is configured to receive projection data generated by a CT scan of an object, generate a three-dimensional, volumetric data set based on the projection data, and automatically generate a plurality of cinematic frames of a cinematic sequence based on the three-dimensional, volumetric data set. Each of the plurality of cinematic frames has a different value for at least one parameter. The processor is also configured to automatically generate a signal to display the cinematic sequence in a frame-by-frame manner. In some embodiments, the processor continuously displays the cinematic sequence until a user accepts the three-dimensional, volumetric data set or stops the cinematic sequence (e.g., to perform a manual inspection of the three-dimensional, volumetric data set and/or re-initiate a scan of the object).

Automatic volumetric image inspection

Devices for presentation of digital radiographic images. One device includes a memory for storing at least one radiographic image and a computer connected to the memory. The computer includes a processor and a user interface module. The user interface module is configured to generate a graphical user interface and to cause the at least one radiographic image to be displayed on a display in a first mode and in a light box mode that simulates the appearance of a physical light box.
