METHODS AND SYSTEM FOR LINKING GEOMETRY OBTAINED FROM IMAGES

摘要

Techniques for linking geometry extracted from one or more medical images, the geometry including a plurality of geometric objects each having parameter values including at least one value for location and at least one value for direction/orientation, the plurality of geometric objects comprising a target geometric object and at least two candidate geometric objects, the techniques include: (A) comparing parameter values of the target geometric object with parameter values of the at least two candidate geometric objects, (B) selecting one of the at least two candidate geometric objects to link to the target geometric object based, at least in part, on the comparison; and (C) linking the target geometric object with the selected candidate geometric object.

1. A method for linking geometry extracted from one or more medical images, the geometry including a plurality of geometric objects each having parameter values including at least one value for location and at least one value for direction/orientation, the plurality of geometric objects comprising a target geometric object and at least two candidate geometric objects, the method comprising:
(A) comparing parameter values of the target geometric object with parameter values of the at least two candidate geometric objects at least in part by:
comparing at least one value for location of the target geometric object to respective values for location of the at least two candidate geometric objects, andcomparing at least one value for direction/orientation of the target geometric object to respective values for direction/orientation of the at least two candidate geometric objects, (B) selecting one of the at least two candidate geometric objects to link to the target geometric object based, at least in part, on the comparison; and (C) linking the target geometric object with the selected candidate geometric object.
