Method for generating endo-microscopic image data set of patient, involves receiving and storing two-dimensional-image data set from object layers lying toward axis of endo-microscope, and reconstructing three- dimensional- image data set

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves receiving and storing two-dimensional (2D)-image data set from different object layers (8a, 8b) lying toward an optical axis (11) of an endo-microscope (2) one behind other in mutual distances. A three-dimensional (3D)-image data set is reconstructed at a radiological 3D work station using 3D radiology process. The 3D-image data set is segmented using digital image processing process, and presence of characteristic structures is searched. A found structure is reproduced in a standardized view in the 2D- image data set for the object layers. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a device for generating an endo-microscopic image data set. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Method for generating an endo-microscopic image data set of a patient. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method enables receiving and storing 2D-image data set from different object layers lying toward the optical axis of the endo-microscope one behind other in mutual distance, and reconstructing 3D-image data set in a simple manner, such that a volume image is reconstructed, and 3D images are provided to the endoscopists with enhanced picture information, so that the identification of sample is made easier and the pathological changes are more visible for the endoscopists, thus increasing the diagnostic safety. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a simplified and schematic block diagram of a device for generating an endo-microscopic image data set. 2 : Endo-microscope 8a, 8b : Object layers 11 : Optical axis 12 : Image processing apparatus 14 : Monitor 16 : Input device.
