ANALYSING MRI DATA TO DETERMINE TUMOUR TYPE

摘要

There is provided a method of analysing MRI data of a tumour in order to determine the tumour type. In one arrangement, the method comprises segmenting the MRI data to identify tumour voxels and non-tumour voxels. A tumour surface is identified representing a boundary between the tumour voxels and the non- tumour voxels. The identified tumour surface is processed to calculate one or more shape parameters that are each representative of a three-dimensional characteristic of the surface shape. A tumour type is determined based on the one or more calculated shape parameters.
