    摘要: Disclosed is an automated technique for analyzing the affected region due to an embolism in an organ. A segmented image of the organ vasculature is generated using image volume data received, for example, from a Computed Tomography (CT) machine. An embolus is then identified (either manually or automatically) within the segmented image, and the volume of the organ affected by the embolism is automatically determined. The volume of the organ affected by the embolism may be determined by computing a sub-tree within the segmented image, where the sub-tree comprises vessels that are distal to the identified embolus point. In one embodiment, the sub-tree is generated by determining a plane perpendicular to a vessel at the embolus point such that the sub-tree comprises a distal portion of the vasculature with respect to the plane. Unwanted overlapping trees are identified (e.g., by analyzing branch angles) and removed from the sub-tree. The volume of the organ affected by the embolism is determined by calculating a volume of the organ that is perfused by the sub-tree. The affected volume may be adjusted by scaling the volume based on the percentage occlusion of the partial embolus.

    摘要: A method for detecting polyp candidates in tagged stool or non-tagged stool images without performing stool subtraction, includes: applying a filter to locations in image data of a colon including tagged or non-tagged stool to generate a response image based on a gradient magnitude, angle, and radius in relation to another location in the image data for each of the locations, wherein the locations are indicated in the response image as tagged or non-tagged stool based on their density or brightness within the response image; and selecting locations in the response image above a threshold as polyp candidates.

    摘要: A method for grouping airway and artery pairs, includes: computing a two-dimensional (2D) cross-section of an airway; identifying regions of high-intensity in the 2D cross-section; computing a first indicator for each of the high intensity regions, wherein the first indicator is an orientation measure of the high intensity region with respect to the airway; computing a second indicator for each of the high intensity regions, wherein the second indicator is a circularity measure of the high intensity region; computing a third indicator for each of the high intensity regions, wherein the third indicator is a proximity measure of the high intensity region with respect to the airway; summing the first through third indicators for each of the high intensity regions to obtain a score for each of the high intensity regions; and determining which of the high intensity regions is an artery corresponding to the airway based on its score.
