This disclosure encompasses approaches for determining whether an anatomical region is suitable for comparing the planning image (the CT) to the live positioning image (a surface camera image) or whether it is likely to be subject to deformation for example due to swelling and thus generally an undesirable basis for patient positioning. A first method aims at using anatomical regions that are likely not to be subject to such behavior as basis for establishing a positional relationship between the planning image and the live positioning image. A second method aims at determining whether differences in image contents between the planning image and the live positioning image are plausible, for example acceptable, due to known effects occurring when positioning the patient.

COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR TRANSFORMING A PROJECTION OF A SCENE IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPACE INTO A COMPOSITE IMAGE
A computer-implemented method for transforming a projection of a scene in three-dimensional space into a composite image by a camera system comprising a plurality of cameras is presented. In particular, in this method the scene is subsequently projected onto a plurality of camera unit spheres and a compositing unit sphere. Each camera unit sphere of the plurality of camera unit spheres represents one camera of the plurality of cameras, respectively. The compositing unit sphere unifies the plurality of camera unit spheres, wherein a compositing unit sphere centre of the compositing unit sphere is equally distanced by a unified offset to each camera unit sphere centres of the plurality of camera unit spheres. A radius of the camera unit spheres and the compositing unit sphere corresponds to an alignment distance, wherein the alignment distance relates to an extrinsic distance between the camera system and a point of interest. Thus, the proposed method inter alia allows to improve the transforming of a projection of a scene in three dimensional space into a composite image by a camera system comprising a plurality of cameras in view of parallax. In particular, a parallax of zero can be achieved at the alignment distance.

METHOD FOR PROVIDING TRACKING IMAGE DATA TO A NETWORK
A computer implemented method for providing tracking image data to a network is presented. In particular, this method does not provide the tracking image data in a raw format to the network but determines marshalled data containing only the raw information relevant for the tracking. Therefore, in the raw tracking image data, the regions of interest are determined and together with descriptive geometric region of interest metadata are used to determine the marshalled data. In other words, raw image data that is not relevant for tracking purposes is not transported over the network to the processing unit. Thus, the amount of tracking image data to be transferred by the network to a processing unit can be reduced.

Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining imaging control data for controlling medical imaging for localizing the position of an anatomical body part. The disclosed method encompasses generation of synthesized medical images from a tomographic planning image at an image contrast which allows to appropriately recognize a representation of soft tissue in the synthesized medical images. An imaging parameter, for example the energy, of a (virtual) beam of imaging radiation is adjusted to achieve such a contrast. The determined value of the imaging parameter can then be used later for image-based tracking of the anatomical body part during a medical procedure such as radiation treatment. For example, too high energy values should be avoided because they would result in a comparably low contrast of image constituents representing soft tissue because only a small fraction of the energy would be absorbed by the soft tissue.

Disclosed is a method of transforming a first medical image dataset describing an anatomical body part of a patient into a reference system of a second medical image dataset describing the anatomical body part. The method encompasses taking images of a surface of an anatomical body part during both free breathing and deep inspiration breath-hold using a surface camera as well as a tomography such as a CT of the anatomical body part during deep inspiration breath-hold. Contours are extracted from the surface camera images and the tomography representing a contour of the anatomical body part such as a surface of the patient's thorax. The contour extracted from the camera image taken during free breathing is transformed into a coordinate system used for defining positions in the tomograph (i.e. a coordinate system used by the tomograph used for generating the tomography) by fusing the contour extracted from the tomography with the contour extracted from the deep inspiration breath-hold camera image and applying the transformation representing the fusion result to the camera image taken during free breathing.

SYSTEM CONFIGURED TO AID IN TRAINING A PATIENT'S BREATHING IN PREPARATION FOR A RADIOTHERAPY TREATMENT
Provided is a system and technique configured to aid in training a patient's breathing in preparation for a radiotherapy treatment. The system includes a mobile device configured to prompt, by an application running on the mobile device, the patient to perform a breathing exercise. The breathing exercise is directed to improving breath control. The mobile device is further configured to determine, by the application running on the mobile device and based on input data, one or more values indicating a training progress. The training of the patient's breathing includes one or more of: training the patient to create a breath pattern so as to match a predetermined breath pattern; training the patient to reproduce a prior breath pattern of the patient; and/or training breath-hold in preparation for breath-hold during radiotherapy treatment.
In many medical applications, it is crucial to match or register two different image data with each other, for example live image data with previously obtained 3D image data. The present disclosure relates to registration of a 3D image dataset with (live) ultrasound data. Rather than reconstructing an image from the ultrasound data and registering the reconstructed image with the 3D image dataset, the approach of the present disclosure matches the ultrasound A mode signals output by an ultrasound transducer with simulated ultrasound A mode signals generated from the 3D image dataset.
According to the present invention, the method presented herein may determine, which lesions of a patient need modulation, and which not. In an optional step an arc setup optimization is performed for creating the RT treatment plan. Moreover, a conformal shape optimization is performed, preferably for all lesions of the patient. Furthermore, a VMAT optimization is performed with the restriction that conformal the shapes determined before must stay conformal during the VMAT optimization for subset of lesions. In this way, the benefits of conformal arcs and modulated arcs are combined by generation of treatment plans using hybrid arcs. This method allows that each arc can contain both conformal and modulated apertures.

Local dimming of mixed reality glasses in medical environment
The disclosed method encompasses performing local dimming of a dimmed area within a display area of mixed reality glasses. The dimmed area comprises a part of the display area on which a virtual object is displayed. While local dimming increases perceptibility of the virtual object, it might impair usability since it blocks real world objects from view. This is avoided by reducing a dimming intensity of the local dimming in at least a part of the dimmed area.

TRAINING A MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHM USING DIGITALLY RECONSTRUCTED RADIOGRAPHS
Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of training a likelihood-based computational model for determining the position of an image representation of an annotated anatomical structure in a two-dimensional x-ray image, wherein the method encompasses inputting medical DRRs together with annotation to a machine learning algorithm to train the algorithm, i.e. to generate adapted learnable parameters of the machine learning model. The annotations may be derived from metadata associated with the DRRs or may be included in atlas data which is matched with the DRRs to establish a relation between the annotations included in the atlas data and the DRRs. The thus generated machine learning algorithm may then be used to analyse clinical or synthesized DRRs so as to appropriately add annotations to those DRRs and/or identify the position of an anatomical structure in those DRRs.
