System and methods for providing information related to a tissue region of a subject
A system for providing information related to a tissue region of a patient is provided. The system includes a user interface configured for co-displaying medical imaging information of the tissue region and visible light information of the tissue region.
1. A system for providing information related to a tissue region of a patient comprising a user interface, a computing platform and a display, wherein said computing platform is configured for co-displaying on said display a first image of the tissue region captured by a medical imaging device and 3D image of the tissue region captured by a visible light capturing device, for simulating over said 3D image a physical examination resulting in morphological deformation of said tissue region, for transforming said morphological deformation to said first image, and for simultaneously displaying said simulation on both said images.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said tissue region is a breast.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein said medical imaging device is selected from the group consisting of an X-ray device, an MRI device, a hyperspectral device and an Ultrasound device.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein said medical imaging device is a thermography device.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein said first image is a stereoscopic images.
6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising said medical imaging device and said visible light capturing device.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein said medical imaging device includes at least one infrared capture device.
8. The system of claim 6 , wherein said visible light capturing device includes at least one visible light camera.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein said first and said 3D images are co-registered.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein said first image and/or said 3D image includes information derived from a series of images captured from different angles with respect to the tissue region.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein said computing platform is configured for simulating an invasive medical procedure and simultaneously displaying said simulation on said images.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein said user interface comprises controls for outline or mark a tissue region of interest on said first image.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein said user interface comprises controls for co-manipulating said first and 3D images on said display.
14. The system of claim 1 , wherein said first image is a three-dimensional images.
15. A method of providing information of a tissue region of a subject comprising co-displaying a first image of the tissue region captured by a medical image device and a 3D image of the tissue region captured by a visible light capturing device, simulating over said 3D image a physical examination resulting in morphological deformation of said tissue region, transforming said morphological deformation to said first image and simultaneously displaying said simulation on both said images.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein said first image and/or said 3D image includes information derived from a series of images captured from different angles with respect to the tissue region.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein said tissue region is a breast.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein said first image is a three-dimensional images.
