Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention relates to a computer-implemented method for simulating medical imaging modalities (such as X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound) by using surface models of organs. The system generates simulated patient images by determining how fields, radiation, or mechanical waves would interact with a virtual organ model based on its shape and position. It allows the configuration of various parameters for different imaging modalities and produces realistic simulated images from a specific viewing direction.

Patent Abstract

Gemäß einem computerimplementierten Verfahren zur Simulation einer Bildgebungsmodalität, deren Funktion auf einer Wechselwirkung von Feldern, Strahlung oder mechanischen Wellen mit abzubildendem Material basiert, wird ein Oberflächenmodell, welches eine Form und eine Pose wenigstens eines Organs durch eine geometrische Oberfläche beschreibt, bereitgestellt. Ein Parametersatz zur Konfiguration der Bildgebungsmodalität wird bereitgestellt und abhängig von dem Oberflächenmodell und dem Parametersatz wird eine Wechselwirkungsverteilung (5) bestimmt. Basierend auf der Wechselwirkungsverteilung (5) und einer vorgegebenen Blickrichtung wird ein simuliertes Patientenbild (6) erzeugt.
