IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD COMPRISING THE DISPLAY OF REGIONS OF INTEREST IN AN X-RAY IMAGE USING MARKERS

摘要

The invention relates to an image processing method for locating potentially cancerous regions in at least one X-ray image, said method comprising: the location (1, 2, 3, 4) of a plurality of regions of interest in the X-ray image; the extraction (5) of at least one characteristic of each region of interest; the association (6) of a statistical score with each region of interest according to the characteristic extracted; the filtering of the plurality of regions of interest in order to extract a group of regions of interest; and the display (7) of the group of regions of interest on display means, each region of interest being displayed using a marker to represent said region of interest in the X-ray image displayed on the display means. The invention is characterised in that the filtering of the plurality of regions of interest includes a first filtering of the regions of interest of the plurality of regions in order to extract a first group of regions, and a second filtering of the regions of interest of the plurality of regions in order to extract a second group of regions, and in that the display includes the display of the regions of interest of the first group using a first marker, and the display of the regions of interest of the second group using a second marker different from the first marker.
