An interface unit or connecting between an ultrasound sensing apparatus and a patient monitor for providing ultrasound monitoring functionality of one or more physiological or anatomical parameters based on processing of ultrasound data. The interface unit includes means for processing acquired ultrasound data to derive measurements of one or more physiological or anatomical parameters and is configured for outputting said derived measurements to a coupled patient monitor unit, e.g. for display and/or trending by the patient monitor.
The invention relates to a registration system (13) for registering an imaging device (2) for generating two-dimensional images (7, 8) of an object (3) with a sensing device (3, 4) for acquiring sensing data indicative of a three-dimensional position and/or orientation and/or shape of the object. Besides the sensing data, object image data comprising a position and/or orientation and/or shape of the object in an image generated by the imaging device are received and/or provided in the system. Furthermore, context data indicative of a position of at least one three-dimensional reference point are received and/or provided. The system comprises a registration unit (6) configured to determine a registration between the sensing device and the imaging device based on i) the object image data, ii) the sensing data and iii) a deviation or change of the context data, when applying registration parameter, being remaining within an acceptable deviation. This can allow for a faster, but still accurate registration, particularly based on only a single image of the imaging device.

A system and method are provided for assessing plaque burden in a peripheral blood vessel of a subject. The method includes acquiring a three-dimensional, 3D, ultrasound image of the vessel using non-invasive ultrasound imaging (S511); performing 3D vessel segmentation of the vessel in the ultrasound image using a vessel segmentation machine learning model to identify borders of the vessel (S512); performing 3D plaque segmentation of the plaque in the ultrasound image using a plaque segmentation machine learning model to identify plaque within the borders of the vessel (S513); detecting a centerline of the vessel based on the 3D vessel segmentation of the vessel (S516); determining volume of the plaque within the borders of the vessel based on the 3D vessel segmentation (S517); and determining local thickness of the plaque in at least one cross-section of the vessel relative to the detected centerline based on the 3D vessel segmentation and the 3D plaque segmentation (S518). Both 3D vessel segmentation and 3D plaque segmentation are performed for the entire image volume, as opposed to having to perform 2D vessel segmentation and 2D plaque segmentation of individual 2D cross-sections (frames) of the vessel.

G06V 10/25 - Détermination d’une région d’intérêt [ROI] ou d’un volume d’intérêt [VOI]
Image processing system and related method. The system comprises a multi-channel input interface (IN) for receiving a data stream of spectral projection data. The data stream includes two sets, a first set and a second set, the first set of spectral projection data representative of a first type of attenuation at different contrasts, and a second set of spectral projection data representative of a second type of attenuation at different contrasts. The different contrasts are due to a first object (CA) that is movable relative to a second object (ANA) and into a field of view of the imaging apparatus, whilst the projection raw data is so acquirable. A per-channel processer (CP) process the two sets to obtain a processed data set so as to improve image quality of the said set. An output interface (OUT) provides the processed set. The system act as an image quality booster.

An intraluminal device for delivering pressure waves includes a flexible elongate member configured for positioning within a body lumen. The flexible elongate member includes: an outer sheath with a sealed distal end, a reaction chamber, and a sealed acoustic window. The flexible elongate member also includes an optical fiber configured to be coupled to a light source and translated longitudinally within the outer sheath. When the reaction chamber is filled with a photoreactive fluid, a beam of light emitted by the optical fiber causes the photoreactive fluid to generate a set of pressure waves that is delivered to a location of the body lumen via the sealed acoustic window. The sealed acoustic window and the sealed distal end prevent the photoreactive fluid from entering the body lumen.
