Improved interpretation of dominant structures in computer tomography

摘要

An object image 100 such as that generated by computer tomography has regions 101,102,103 that are characterised by different intensities Ia,Ib,Ic. Threshold values can be defined that allows data for the regions to be distinguished. This allows data relating to specific areas to be eliminated. In the case of computer tomography this allows regions of bone to be separated from soft tissue areas.
