A method and system are disclosed for analyzing image data of a subject and/or operating and moving an imaging system to obtain image data. The image data can be collected with an imaging system in a selected manner and/or motion. An automatic system and method may define or identify positions for image data acquisition.

Method and system for positioning an imaging system

A method and system is disclosed for analyzing image data of a subject. The image data can be collected with an imaging system in a selected manner and/or motion. The image data may include selected overlap and be acquired with an imaging system that generates a plurality of perspectives for more than one location. An automatic system and method may then define or identify various features and/or allow for registration for alternative image data.

System and method for identifying and classifying a feature in an image of a subject

Selected artifacts, which may be based on distortions or selected attenuation features, may be reduced or removed from a reconstructed image. Various artifacts may occur due to the presence of a metal object in a field of view. The metal object may be identified and removed from a data that is used to generate a reconstruction.

System and method for artifact reduction in an image

A sleeve for a medical lead includes a tubular body having a first open end and a second open end, a tubular wall extending between the first and second ends and defining a hollow center, and a longitudinal axis extending through the hollow center. A first pocket is disposed in the tubular wall and having a curved transverse cross section and a first access opening at the first open end of the tubular body. A medical lead system includes a medical lead and the sleeve configured to slide over the medical lead and be adjacent to the electrode region.

Imaging markers for stimulator leads

A system and method for a procedure that can be performed on an appropriate subject. Procedures can include assembling any appropriate work piece or installing members into a work piece, such as an airframe, autoframe, etc. Regardless of the subject, generally the procedure can have a selected result that is efficacious. The efficacious result may be the desired placement of a device. The system and method can be used in confirming an efficacious result.

Method and apparatus for image-based navigation

Devices, systems, and methods used to register medical image data with anatomical positions are disclosed. The image data is captured by an imaging system over a period of time. The positions are determined by one or more modalities over the period of time. The positions are collected into position data, and determinations are made as to which position data is best for registering the image data with patient anatomy and for reconstructing 3D images of the patient anatomy.

Systems and methods for enhancement of 3D imagery and navigation via integration of patient motion data

A method and system is disclosed for acquiring image data of a subject. The image data can be collected with an imaging system in a selected manner and/or motion. More than one projection may be combined to generate and create a selected view of the subject.

System and method for imaging a subject

A method and system is disclosed for acquiring image data of a subject. The image data can be collected using an imaging system with a selected filtering characteristic. The image data can be reconstructed using reconstruction techniques.

Filter system and method for imaging a subject

Disclosed is a system and method for operating an imaging system. The imaging system may move or be moved to acquire image data of a subject at different positions relative to the subject. The image data may, thereafter, be combined to form a single image.

Imaging system

A method and system is disclosed for acquiring image data of a subject. The image data can be collected with an imaging system with at least two different power characteristics. A volumetric model of multiple phases can be reconstructed using dynamic or enhanced reconstruction techniques.

Gated image acquisition and patient model construction

Disclosed is a system for imaging a system. The system may be operated to acquire image data of a subject in one or more manners. The image data acquired may be used to various purposes, such as generating an image for display, navigating a procedure, or other appropriate procedures.

System and method for imaging

A system and a method are disclosed that allow for generation of a model or reconstruction of a model of a subject based upon acquired image data. The image data can be acquired in a substantially mobile system that can be moved relative to a subject to allow for image acquisition from a plurality of orientations relative to the subject. The plurality of orientations can include a first and final orientation and a predetermined path along which an image data collector or detector can move to acquire an appropriate image data set to allow for the model of construction.
