摘要:
An object detection apparatus includes a data acquisition system configured to acquire diagnostic data of the subject, an image reconstructor configured to reconstruct at least one image of the subject from the diagnostic data, and a data retrieval device configured to retrieve a first set of bookmarks identifying a first set of objects of interest in the at least one image. The object detection apparatus further includes a computer programmed to display the at least one image on a console and detect input from the user corresponding to a second set of bookmarks identifying a second set of objects of interest in the image. The computer is further programmed to selectively allow the user to incorporate each bookmark of the first set of bookmarks into the second set of bookmarks.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method of assessing the change in size of cancerous lesions in humans utilizing CT scans through the application of a boundary detection algorithm capable of detecting subtle changes in CT images. The change assessment method may include the steps for defining boundary regions on a CT scan image, analyzing said boundaries utilizing a computational program containing statistical analysis techniques, and producing a medically useful output showing any change in lesion size. The change assessment method may also be interfaced with other medical diagnostic techniques or devices that are known in the art.
