Etched wafers and methods of forming the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of etching a wafer is provided. The method includes forming a metal hard mask on the wafer using electroless plating, patterning the metal hard mask, and etching a plurality of features on the wafer using an etcher. The plurality of featured are defined by the metal hard mask.

Feature processing is provided for lung nodules in computer-assisted diagnosis. A feature that may better distinguish nodules from background is extracted using a Hough transform. Rather than relying on a specific boundary shape, the Hough transform accumulates evidence associated with a region, such as a ring region. The accumulated evidence provides a feature score without requiring a nodule to fit a specific shape. In another approach, a background level is determined from extracted features. Rather than attempting to normalize an image prior to extraction, the features are normalized. The feature normalization and generalized Hough transform extraction may be used together or alone.

A method and system for locating an opaque region, such as a heart region in a chest X-ray radiograph is disclosed. In order to segment a heart region in a chest X-ray radiograph, a heart region boundary is generated based on lung boundaries in the chest X-ray radiograph and an average heart region model. A location of the lower boundary of the heart region in the chest X-ray radiograph is then determined. Left and right portions of the heart region boundary are independently registered to corresponding portions of the lung boundaries, and upper and lower portions of the heart region boundary are adjusted based on the left and right portions in order to form a smooth contour.

A method for performing computer-assisted lesion assessment includes acquiring contrast enhanced MRI data. A region of interest is identified. Kinetic properties, morphological properties and pattern of enhancement are determined for the identified region of interest. A score is calculated for each of the kinetic properties, morphological properties, pattern of enhancement. A cumulative score is calculated for the identified region of interest. The scores are provided to a medical practitioner to assist in diagnosing the identified region of interest.

Disclosed is a systematic way of automatically segmenting lung regions. To increase the efficiency of a lung segmentation technique, a region-based technique, such as region growing, is performed by a computer on a middle slice of the CT volume. A contour-based technique is then used for a plurality of non-middle slices of the CT volume. This allows the implementation to be multithreaded and results in an improvement in the segmentation algorithm's efficiency.

摘要:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for registering data points in data sets representing scan data. Data points corresponding to a physical feature represented in the scan data are automatically detected. The detected data points in one data set are correlated with detected data points in another data set. A group of similarity transformations between the correlated detected data points is then calculated. The group of similarity transformations is then combined. In one advantageous embodiment, the physical feature is vertebras.
