    摘要: A method for refining shape estimates of detected abnormalities in medical images, particularly for the detection of pulmonary lesions in CT imagery is described. A cue point is refined prior to an initially segmentation of the lesion. A radial gradient is computed for points on an initial segmented lesion. Portions of the lesion with radial gradients deviating beyond a threshold angle are removed from the lesion. Registering imagery from more than one CT exam uses a high intensity structure, essentially bone, to provide coarse and fine alignment of a set of two-dimensional images is also described. A MIP image is formed from the three-dimensional images. A second MIP image is then formed from imagery. The second MIP image is correlated with the first MIP image to determine a preferred registration location.

    摘要: This invention provides a method for detecting abnormalities in medical images, particularly for the detection of polyps in the colon from computed tomography imagery. Specifically a set of colon masks is input to a detector where summations over spherical volumes with two different radii are computed. Abnormalities are detected based on the ratio of spherical summation values computed for every pixel location.
