    摘要: Methods and systems for training a model labeling two or more organic structures in an image. One method includes receiving a set of training images including a first plurality of images and a second plurality of images. Each of the first plurality of images including a label for a first subset of the two or more organic structures and each of the second plurality of images including a label for a second subset of the two or more organic structures, the second subset being different than the first subset. The method also includes training the model using the first plurality of images, the second plurality of images, and a label merging function mapping a label included in the first plurality of images to a label included in the second plurality of images.

    摘要: Sequential learning techniques, such as auto-context, that apply the output of an intermediate classifier as contextual features for its subsequent classifier have shown impressive performance for semantic segmentation. It is shown that these methods can be interpreted as an approximation technique derived from a Bayesian formulation. To improve the effectiveness of applying this approximation technique, a new sequential learning approach is proposed for semantic segmentation that solves a segmentation problem by breaking it into a series of simplified segmentation problems. Sequentially solving each of the simplified problems along the path leads to a more effective way for solving the original segmentation problem. To achieve this goal, a learning-based method is proposed to generate simplified segmentation problems by explicitly controlling the complexities of the modeling classifiers. Promising results were reported on the 2013 SATA canine leg muscle segmentation dataset.

    摘要: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory, the memory comprising instructions executed by the processor to specifically configure the processor to implement a multi-atlas segmentation engine. An offline registration component performs registration of a plurality of atlases with a set of image templates to thereby generate and store, in a first registration storage device, a plurality of offline registrations. The atlases are annotated training medical images and the image templates are non-annotated medical images. The multi-atlas segmentation engine receives a target image. An image selection component selects a subset of image templates in the set of image templates based on the target image. An online registration component performs registration of the subset of image templates with the target image to generate a plurality of online registrations. The multi-atlas segmentation engine retrieves offline registrations corresponding to the subset of image templates from the first registration storage device. The multi-atlas segmentation engine performs segmentation of the target image based on the retrieved offline registrations corresponding to the subset of image templates and the plurality of online registrations. The segmentation applies labels to anatomical structures present in the target image based on the retrieved offline registrations and the plurality of online registrations to thereby output a modified target image.

    摘要: Registration-based interpolation between images slices is provided. In various embodiments, a plurality of 2D images is read. Each of the plurality of 2D images represents a slice of a 3D volume. A plurality of annotations is read for a subset of the plurality of 2D images. The annotations comprise at least one anatomical label. 2D images lacking annotations are selected from the plurality of 2D images. The at least one anatomical label is propagated from the subset of the plurality of 2D images to the selected 2D images by deformable registration.

    摘要: One embodiment provides a method comprising receiving image data with a first image resolution, and determining an optimal image resolution for sampling the image data based on a learned model. The optimal image resolution is lower than the first image resolution. The method further comprises sampling the image data at the optimal image resolution, and performing image analysis on sampled image data resulting from the sampling.
