    摘要: A system and method for defining and tracking a deformable shape of a candidate anatomical structure wall in a three dimensional (3D) image is disclosed. The shape of the candidate anatomical structure is represented by a plurality of labeled 3D landmark points. At least one 3D landmark point of the deformable shape in an image frame is defined. A 3D cuboid is defined around the detected 3D landmark point. For each landmark point associated with the anatomical structure, its location and location uncertainty matrix is estimated in subsequent frames relative to the reference anatomical structures. A shape model is generated to represent dynamics of the deformable shape in subsequent image frames. The shape model includes statistical information from a training data set of 3D images of representative anatomical structures. The shape model is aligned to the deformable shape of the candidate anatomical structure. The shape model is fused with the deformable shape. A current shape of the candidate anatomical structure is estimated.

    摘要: A method and system for measuring the volume of the left ventricle (LV) in a 3D medical image, such as a CT, volume is disclosed. Heart chambers are segmented in the CT volume, including at least the LV endocardium and the LV epicardium. An optimal threshold value is automatically determined based on voxel intensities within the LV endocardium and voxel intensities between the LV endocardium and the LV epicardium. Voxels within the LV endocardium are labeled as blood pool voxels or papillary muscle voxels based on the optimal threshold value. The LV volume can be measured excluding the papillary muscles based on the number of blood pool voxels, and the LV volume can be measured including the papillary muscles based on the total number of voxels within the LV endocardium.

    摘要: Ultrasound signal information is detected from a sequence of images. A robust automated delineation of the border of the fan or ultrasound signal information in echocardiographic or other ultrasound image sequence is provided. The processor implemented delineation uses a single image or a sequence of images to better identify ultrasound signal data. Variation through a sequence generally identifies the signal area. Projecting the filtered variation information to two likely directions identifies approximate edge locations along the sides of the border. Robust regression fits lines to the edges to find accurate border locations. The bottom of the border is identified with a histogram of the variation information as a function of radius from an intersection of the fit lines.
