A method of processing a medical image includes acquiring a three-dimensional (3D) medical image indicating a blood vessel and a two-dimensional (2D) medical image indicating the blood vessel, determining a blood vessel area in the 3D medical image corresponding to a partial area of the blood vessel in the 2D medical image, and matching the blood vessel area with the partial area in the 2D medical image.

Medical imaging device and medical image processing method

A method for medical imaging executed by an apparatus including a processor includes determining a start block of volume rendering based on respective maximum values of blocks positioned on a path of a light beam; acquiring a value of the light beam based on first sampling values acquired by sampling the start block; setting a processing order for remaining blocks positioned on the path of the light beam based on respective distances between the start block and the remaining blocks; determining whether a next block, according to the processing order, is to be processed, by comparing a maximum value of the next block with the value of the light beam; and comparing second sampling values acquired by sampling the next block with the value of the light beam and updating the value of the light beam according to a comparison result, in response to the maximum value of the next block being greater than the value of the light beam.

Volume rendering apparatus and method of operating same

A region growing apparatus using multi-core includes a plurality of cores, each core including an operation controller configured to perform an operation for region growing of a 2D pixel region or 3D pixel region and an inner memory configured to store a queue associated with a seed pixel as a target of the operation; and a shared memory connected to the plurality of cores over a network and shared by the plurality of cores.

Region growing apparatus and method using multi-core

A reference image is displayed by processing spatial distribution to image data recording. A screen for inputting a corresponding command is displayed when requested. A corresponding slab is a three-dimensional slab rendered according to an input of a slab control command on a displayed screen. The three-dimensional rendered slab is also displayed. When the slab control command is designated among the Sagittal image, the Coronal image, and the Axial image on the displayed screen, the image designated on the basis of the reference image is displayed. When the slab control command is designated as a request to Rotate on the displayed screen, it is checked whether a new rotation center is designated. When the new rotation center is designated, volume or interest (VOI) planes are rotated on the basis of the new rotation center and the image is generated and displayed.

3 Dimensional slab rendering system method and computer-readable medium

An apparatus and method for displaying a three-dimensional virtual endoscopic image are provided. In the method, information on a virtual endoscopic image is input in the form of volume data expressed as a function of three-dimensional position. A two-dimensional reference image, a three-dimensional reference image, and a virtual endoscopic image are detected from the volume data. The detected images are displayed on one screen. Virtual cameras are respectively displayed on areas, in which the two and three-dimensional reference images are respectively displayed. Here, a camera display sphere and a camera display circle are defined on the basis of a current position of each virtual camera. When information regarding to one image, among the two and three-dimensional reference images and the virtual endoscopic image on one screen, is changed by a user's operation, information regarding to the other images is changed based on the information changed by the user's operation.
