Abstract:
A method and system for automatically detecting and segmenting lymph nodes in a 3D medical image, such as a CT image, is disclosed. A plurality of lymph node center point candidates are detected in the 3D medical image. A lymph node candidate is segmented for each of the detected lymph node center point candidates. Lymph nodes are detected from the segmented lymph node candidates by verifying the segmented lymph node candidates using a trained lymph node classifier.
