    摘要: A detection and classification method of a shape in a medical image is provided. It is based on generating a plurality of 2-D sections through a 3-D volume in the medical image. In general, there are two steps. The first step is feature estimation to generate shape signatures for candidate volumes containing candidate shapes. The feature estimation method computes descriptors of objects or of their images. The second general step involves classification of these shape signatures for diagnosis. A classifier contains, builds and/or trains a database of descriptors for previously seen shapes, and then maps descriptors of novel images to categories corresponding to previously seen shapes or classes of shapes.

    摘要: An automatic method for the registration of prone and supine computed tomographic colonography data is provided. The method improves the radiologist's overall interpretation efficiency as well as provides a basis for combining supine/prone computer-aided detection results automatically. The method includes determining (centralized) paths or axes of the colon from which relatively stationary points of the colon are matched for both supine and prone positions. Stretching and/or shrinking of either the supine or prone path perform registration of these points. The matching and registration occurs in an iterative and recursive manner and is considered finished based on one or more decision criteria.

    摘要: A method for detecting and identifying structures of interest such as colonic polyps or similar structures like lung nodules in volumetric (medical) images data is provided. The method includes obtaining a heat diffusion field (HDF) by applying a heat diffusion scheme to a volume of interest that includes structures. The obtained heat diffusion field is then used for identifying a structure of interest from the structures in the volume of interest using a geometrical analysis of the heat diffusion field. The heat diffusion scheme is, at least partly, governed by non-linear diffusion parameters. The identification includes two parts: (i) the computation of a spherical symmetry parameter, and (ii) the performance of a local analysis of the volume of interest and computation of a triangulization parameter.

    摘要: A method of identifying polyps and in a medical image is provided. In a first step, a 3-dimensional model is made of the medical image that contains both polyps (if any were present in the original medical image) and folds. Next, a second 3-dimensional model of the medical image, which is a filtered version of the first model, is constructed in which folds are preserved, but polyps are minimized or eliminated. In a third step, any polyps that were contained in the medical image are identified by subtracting the second 3-dimensional model from the first 3-dimensional model. This subtraction results in a third 3-dimensional model, in which polyps are preserved but folds are minimized or eliminated. With the present inventive method, polyps may be easily and quickly identified without interference from folds.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method for determining and characterizing, which portions or shapes of a medical image correspond to a shape of interest is provided. A candidate shape is obtained after which a visible surface is computed adjacent to this candidate shape. A visible surface includes one or more portions of the medical image that are visible by the candidate shape. Once the visible surface is determined, parameters of the visible surface are computed. Then the method further includes the step of determining whether the candidate shape corresponds to a shape of interest. The method further includes the step of computing features of the candidate shape and/or classifying the candidate shape. The advantage of the computer-implemented method is that it provides a high detection specificity, i.e. reducing false positives, without sacrificing sensitivity of the detection of a shape of interest.

    摘要: Systems and methods for analyzing pathologies utilizing quantitative imaging are presented herein. Advantageously, the systems and methods of the present disclosure utilize a hierarchical analytics framework that identifies and quantify biological properties/analytes from imaging data and then identifies and characterizes one or more pathologies based on the quantified biological properties/analytes. This hierarchical approach of using imaging to examine underlying biology as an intermediary to assessing pathology provides many analytic and processing advantages over systems and methods that are configured to directly determine and characterize pathology from underlying imaging data.

    摘要: Methods and systems for making image-derived information available by performing analyses with semantic annotations accessible using semantic web technology for personalized medicine and discovery science are disclosed. Individual cases are identified according to an identification scheme. Targets for image analysis for each case are characterized in order to support tracking of a given anatomy, suspected pathology, confirmed pathology, or medical intervention at one or more timepoints. Access information to one or more medical images of each target at each one of the one or more timepoints is provided and stored. One or more levels of image-derived analysis is obtained and stored, the image derived analysis including at least one of imaging features, measured quantities, phenotypic descriptions, or predictions relative to said one case. A semantic search ability accesses across stored data items, for imaging or non-imaging associated data, according to concepts in an ontology according to relationships, without requiring the queries to be defined beforehand. By accessing predetermined data services, queries from the knowledge base are formed in order to collect data sets. The data sets can be used to test a hypothesis, the hypothesis related to supporting tracking of the given anatomy, the suspected pathology, the confirmed pathology, or the medical intervention.
