摘要:
A system for computer-aided detection uses a computer-implemented network structure to analyze patterns present in digital image slices of a human body and to generate a three-dimensional anatomical model of a patient. The anatomical model is generated by detecting easily identifiable organs first and then using those organs as context objects to detect other organs. A user specifies membership functions that define which objects of the network structure belong to the various classes of human organs specified in a class hierarchy. A membership function of a potentially matching class determines whether a candidate object of the network structure belongs to the potential class based on the relation between a property of the voxels linked to the candidate object and a property of the context object. Some voxel properties used to classify an object are location, brightness and volume. The human organs are then measured to assist in the patient's diagnosis.
