THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE DATA ANALYSIS AND NAVIGATION

摘要

A system (100) is provided for analyzing image data representing image intensities of an image volume, the image intensities having a signal dynamic range. The system (100) comprises an analysis subsystem (140) for accessing display data defining a set of display settings for display of the image volume, each one of the set of display settings causing a different sub-range of the signal dynamic range to be mapped to a display dynamic range during the display. During operation, the analysis subsystem (140) analyzes the image data to identify, for each one of the set of display settings, a region of the image volume which comprises image intensities within the respective sub-range, thereby identifying a set of regions of interest, and generating analysis data (142) identifying the set of regions of interest. As such, the user is enabled to quickly navigate to regions in the image volume which contain meaningful visual information when displayed using the respective display settings.
