    摘要: A technique is provided for utilizing a model of an anatomical feature to facilitate the segmentation of the anatomical feature from its background in a medical image. A global alignment of the model with a region in the patient's image data that generally corresponds to the anatomical feature is performed in one embodiment. Internal structural features within the model are then aligned with their corresponding structural features in the patient's image data. The portion of the patient's image data that is aligned with the model of the anatomical feature is then segmented from the remaining portions of the patient's image data that are not aligned with the model.

    摘要: A method is provided for identifying a location of a region of interest in a volumetric image scan that includes a plurality of slices of an object and wherein each slice, in turn, includes a plurality of pixels. The method includes setting a predetermined pixel intensity threshold corresponding to a particular region of interest; identifying target pixels for each slice from the plurality of pixels that exceed the predetermined pixel intensity threshold; creating an energy profile from the target pixels for each slice; and comparing the energy profile to a predefined energy profile to determine the location of the region of interest.

    摘要: A technique is provided for partitioning an imaged volume into two or more sub-volumes. The technique identifies partition lines which separate the sub-volumes by generating a profile, such as a bone profile, which is then analyzed to determine the placement of the partition lines. In one embodiment, placement of the partition lines is determined automatically by applying one or more sets of hierarchical rules to the profile. After separation of the imaged volume into sub-volumes, each sub-volume may be differentially segmented such that segmentation is customized for the sub-volume. Likewise, after separation of the imaged volume into sub-volumes, the acquisition parameters for each sub-volume may be customized for subsequent acquisitions.

    摘要: A technique for automatically labeling a CT image of the brain with anatomical information. The anatomical information is obtained from an atlas of the brain prepared from an MR image of the brain. The atlas contains image data that is referenced to the Talairach coordinate system. The atlas is aligned to the CT image and the coordinate system of the CT image data is transformed to the Talairach coordinate system. The alignment of the CT image and the atlas is performed using anatomical landmarks that are visible on both the CT image and the atlas. The CT image is then labeled automatically with the anatomical information in the atlas.
