    摘要: This discloses methods and systems for the processing of medical image data of a colon acquired with an imaging device, such as a computerized tomography (“CT”) scanner and more particularly, to methods and systems for the classification of structures or objects in said medical image data. The disclosed methods and systems analyze image data for objects such as rectal tubes or stools, or for clusters of suspicious regions, and may eliminate such objects from further analysis prior to presenting potential polyps to a user.

    摘要: A method for detecting lymph nodes in a medical image includes receiving image data. One or more regions of interest are detected from within the received image data. One or more lymph node candidates are identified using a set of predefined parameters that is particular to the detected region of interest where each lymph node candidate is located. The identifying unit may identify the one or more lymph node candidates by performing DGFR processing. The method may also include receiving user-provided adjustments to the predefined parameters that are particular to the detected regions of interest and identifying the lymph node candidates based on the adjusted parameters. The lymph node candidates identified based on the adjusted parameters may be displayed along with the image data in real-time as the adjustments are provided.

    摘要: A method of identifying colon polyps in a digital volume, wherein the volume includes a plurality of values corresponding to a domain of points in a 3D space, is provided. The method includes selecting a mother wavelet scaling function that corresponds to a polyp; performing a forward wavelet transformation on the volume to obtain a set of wavelet coefficients, wherein each wavelet coefficient is associated with a length scale; determining, for each length scale, a transformation magnitude; and forming, for each length scale, a transformed set of wavelet coefficients associated with the length scale. An inverse wavelet transform is performed on the transformed wavelet coefficients for each length scale to obtain a reconstructed volume, and the reconstructed volume is analyzed for the existence of polyps.
