Visualization of Anatomical Labels

摘要

A framework for visualization is described herein. In accordance with one implementation, one or more structures of interest are localized in a three-dimensional image. A position of an anatomical label may be determined using a positioning technique that is selected according to a view type of a visualization plane through the image, wherein the position of the anatomical label is outside the one or more structures of interest. The anatomical label may then be displayed at the determined position in the visualization plane.

1. A system for visualization, comprising:
a non-transitory memory device for storing computer readable program code; a processor in communication with the memory device, the processor being operative with the computer readable program code to perform steps including:
receiving a three-dimensional image,localizing at least one structure of interest in the image by determining at least one bounding box,identifying a view type of a visualization plane through the image as axial-dominated, coronal-dominated or sagittal-dominated,determining an area of an intersection region where the bounding box intersects with the visualization plane,in response to the area of the intersection region being greater than a predetermined threshold value, determining a position of an anatomical label using a positioning technique selected according to the view type of the visualization plane, wherein the position of the anatomical label is outside the structure of interest, anddisplaying the anatomical label at the determined position in the visualization plane.
