摘要:
A method and a system for determining a physical property of an object, e.g., a diameter value of an anatomical structure, employs local object context information for determining a local physical property of the object. The context information may be a known or determined cross-sectional shape of the object. In one embodiment, a processor may be configured to provide volumetric image information of the object having a three-dimensional structure; determine the physical property of the object along its three-dimensional structure; determine the object context information of the object; and visualize the object context information and the physical property on a display.
摘要:
The invention relates to evaluating medical image information, in particular physical properties of an object (32). When preparing a surgical procedure e.g. a minimally invasive procedure, it may be beneficial to plan the procedure in detail before starting the operation. Thus, obtaining precise information about physical properties of an object (32), e.g. a diameter value (34, 36) of an anatomical structure may be beneficial. Accordingly, a method and a system for determining a physical property (34, 36) of an object (32) is provided, which employs local object context information (38) for determining a local physical property of the object (32).
