A method for automatically analyzing an aortic aneurysm includes providing a digitized 3-dimensional image volume of an aorta, determining which voxels in said image are likely to be lumen voxels, determining a distance of said lumen voxels from an aortic boundary, finding a centerline of the aorta in said image volume based on said lumen voxel distances, constructing a series of 2-dimensional multiplanar reformatted (MFR) image planes orthogonal to this centerline, segmenting aortic cross sections in each said MPR image plane wherein an aortic wall is located in each MPR image, and constructing from said aortic wall locations a 3D model of the aorta.

A method for disrupting an obstruction from a wellbore includes determining a location of an obstruction within a wellbore. An ultrasound transducer is deployed down an interior of a casing in the wellbore. Ultrasound energy is focused, using the ultrasound transducer, to the determined location of the obstruction and the obstruction is disrupted using the focused ultrasound energy.

A system and method for tracking and classifying the left ventricle of the heart using cine-delayed enhancement magnetic resonance (Cine-DEMR) are provided. The method for tracking the left ventricle comprises: delineating myocardial borders of the left ventricle in an image of a first phase of a cardiac cycle of the heart; registering the image of the first phase with an image of a second phase of the cardiac cycle; copying the myocardial borders from the first phase onto the second phase; fitting the myocardial borders of the first phase to myocardial borders of the second phase; and refining the myocardial borders of the second phase.

A method and device for image processing to determine image characteristics includes operations of segmenting of first images to create segmentation contours corresponding to the first images; and registering the segmented first images to second images. Further, operations of transferring the segmentation contours from the first images to second images; and fitting the transferred segmentation contours in the second images are performed.

A system and method for automatically determining the standard cardiac image views as defined by the American Heart Association from volumetric data of the chest including the heart. The system and method can be used by a health practitioner to quickly see the two dimensional views from which a diagnosis is generally made. The left ventricle is detected. Then the relative orientation of the right ventricle is determined and the standard cardiac views are determined.

Systems and methods supplementing existing management methods to corroborate performance of a blow out preventer for a submerged well. The corroborator is located on the blow out preventer and includes a flow meter external to a pipe to measure flow inside the pipe, a pipe joint locator, a ram seal confirmation agent and a dedicated communication connection from the corroborator to a computer topside. Data from at least one sensor topside, which may represent a mud tank level, is also received. The computer calculates a probability that a malfunction related to the well occurs. The computer implements a Principal Component Analysis model of the well based on historical data, to assess a likelihood that a threshold value will be surpassed based on collected sensor data and to generate an alert.

A method for cement bond logging and targeted intervention, including lowering a cylindrical n×m array of ultrasound (US) transducers into a well, firing the US transducers to transmit US signals into a well casing, converting reflected US signals received by the transducers into electronic form and transmit the converted signals to a control unit, analyzing the converted signals to detect holidays, if a holiday is detected, determining a position and angle of the holiday with respect to the transducers, and applying a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) signal to the well casing to fill the holiday.
