Inventors include Kolokolnikov, George; Wissel, Tobias; Baragona, Marco; Bakker, Bart Jacob; Nickisch, Hannes; Heese, Harald Sepp; and Buerger, Christian.
The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: A computer-implemented method for synthesizing combined x-ray-based image data comprising both contrasted and non-contrasted image data, the method comprising the following steps: - receiving a non-contrasted x-ray-based image (20); - segmenting of at least one target anatomical structure on the x-ray-based image to generate a segmentation (3) of the at least one target anatomical structure; - based on the segmentation (3), generating a region-of-interest mask for the non-contrasted x-ray-based image (20); - generating a modelled anatomical structure (8) that comprises a contrasted anatomical structure (9) and corresponds to the at least one target anatomical structure; - applying a trained generative machine learning algorithm on the non-contrasted x-ray-based image (20) with the region-of-interest mask and on the modelled anatomical structure (8) to generate synthetic combined x-ray-based image data (13) comprising both contrasted and non-contrasted image regions, such that an area defined by the region-of-interest mask is changed based on the modelled anatomical structure (8) to be contrasted; - providing the synthetic combined x-ray- based image data (13).
