IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD COMPRISING THE DISPLAY OF REGIONS OF INTEREST IN AN X-RAY IMAGE ACCORDING TO SCORES ASSOCIATED WITH SAID REGIONS

摘要

The invention relates to an image processing system for localising potentially cancerous regions in at least one X-ray image, said system comprising means for detecting at least one region of interest. The invention is characterised in that the system comprises: detection means for detecting at least one region of interest in the X-ray image; extraction means for extracting at least one characteristic from each region of interest; association means for associating a statistical score with each region of interest according to the characteristic extracted; receiving means for receiving a value of a thresholding parameter, defined by the user; comparison means for comparing the score of each region of interest to the value of the thresholding parameter; and display means (30) for displaying the region of interest according to the result of the comparison of the score to the value of the thresholding parameter.
