System and method for enhanced viewing of rib metastasis |
| 摘要 |
A system and method for enhanced viewing of rib metastasis in CT volume data is disclosed. The system and method receive input CT volume data and display slices of the CT volume data. Ribs are automatically segmented from the CT volume data, ordered and labeled. A 3D visualization of the ribs is generated and displayed. Alterations in the rib structure is automatically detected using shape based analysis of the ribs. The alterations are marked as candidate locations for rib metastasis in the displayed slices and 3D visualization in order to assist in the diagnosis of rib metastasis. |

1. A computer implemented method for processing computed tomography (CT) volume data, comprising:
receiving CT volume data; automatically segmenting a plurality ribs from said CT volume data; and automatically detecting alterations in said plurality of ribs by using shape-based analysis on each segmented rib to detect, for each segmented rib, intensity changes in trabecular bone or cortical bone and broken rib boundaries, and identifying a type of alteration for each detected alteration in each segmented rib. |
