    摘要: A system is disclosed for quantitative analysis of perfusion images comprising image elements having intensity values associated therewith. The system comprises a frequency distribution computing subsystem (1) for computing a plurality of frequency distributions of the intensity values of at least part of the images. The system comprises a perfusion information extractor (2) for extracting information relating to perfusion from the plurality of frequency distributions. The perfusion information extractor (2) comprises a shift detector (3) for detecting a shift of the intensity values of the frequency distribution. The perfusion information extractor (2) is arranged for extracting the information relating to perfusion, based on the detected shift. A user interface element (8) enables a user to indicate a boundary between the core region and the rim region by a single degree of freedom. A vesselness subsystem (9) associates a vesselness value with an image element.

    摘要: A method of identifying at least part of a pulmonary artery tree (402) comprises receiving (102) a bronchial tree structure (500) and receiving (104) a pulmonary vessel structure (400). A pair of a first bronchial segment (602) and a first vessel segment (604) is identified (106), wherein the first bronchial segment and the first vessel segment are adjacent with respect to position and orientation. The first vessel segment is identified (108) as arterial segment of the pulmonary artery tree. A spatial transformation is applied (110) such that the first bronchial segment and the first vessel segment substantially coincide (602′). Respective further vessel segments (606, 608) are identified (112) adjacent to bronchial segments (610, 612), wherein the bronchial segments are comprised in the bronchial tree.

    摘要: An apparatus for automatic selection of optimal tomography slices by executing a number of tentative segmentations using the same interactively provided in-slice seed point on some or all available tomography slices. The appropriate segmentation boundaries are then marked and the slice with the best segmentation goodness value (figure of merit) is presented to the user via a viewer. The steps are repeated when the user changes the seed point. The optimal segmentation boundary is displayed on top of a single simulated mammography image, fused from all tomography slice images.

    摘要: When characterizing a tumor or lesion as malignant or benign, a system (10) receives an image of the lesion volume (50), employs a processor (12) to perform a raw segmentation of the image, the results of which are stored to memory (14). Then processor then executes a hole-filling procedure to fill in dark areas in the image of the lesion representing necrotic tissue that absorbed little or no contrast agent, and optionally a leakage removal procedure to remove image voxels associated with non-lesion tissue, e.g., blood vessels, in which the contrast agent was present during imaging, to generate a complete lesion volume. A voxel analyzer (18) assesses a number of voxels included in the raw segmentation of the lesion image, and the final segmentation (e.g., after filling and optional leakage removal). A segmentation comparator (20) computes a ratio of dark area voxels related to necrotic tissue detected after the raw segmentation to total voxels detected in the final image segmentation. The ratio is then used to determine a likelihood of malignancy, with a higher ratio indicating a higher likelihood.

    摘要: When adjusting parameters of a segmentation protocol for segmenting a volume of interest in an anatomical image, a user selects a superparameter (50) that includes multiple internal parameters (52) for adjusting a raw segmentation of the volume interest. As a weight of the selected superparameter is adjusted, weights of the internal parameters associated with the superparameter are adjusted according to a superparameter segmentation adjustment algorithm (20). The volume of interest is iteratively re-segmented after each internal parameter adjustment, transparently to the user, until a predetermined amount of change has been effected in the volume of interest segmentation, at which time the re-segmented volume of interest is displayed to the user.
