AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The bone algorithm has the disadvantage that small vessels in the vicinity of the bone are also sometimes removed
Furthermore, vessel segmentation strategies are often less robust and they often fail at locations of interest where much human interaction is required to edit and extend the segmentation

Embodiment Construction

[0015] A method is described below wherein, during segmenting a structure of interest from imaging data, the segmented structure of interest in the imaging data is visually highlighted and visually presented together with other structures in the imaging data.

[0016] figure 1 A scanner 102 is depicted, such as a computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), x-ray, or other imaging scanner.

[0017] Console 104 includes a general-purpose computing system having human-readable output devices (eg, a monitor) and input devices (eg, of a keyboard, mouse, etc.). Software on the console 104 allows an operator to interact with the scanner 102, including initiating scans and the like.

[0018] Image processor 106 processes the output of scanner 102 and generates imaging data (or images). It is also possible to process and / or visually display the imaging data and / or the scanner output.

[0019] Data repository 108 can be used to store imaging data and / or scanner output. Data r...

Abstract

A method includes segmenting a region of interest in imaging data in a visual presentation of the imaging data and visually highlighting, concurrently with the segmenting, the region of interest while the region of interest is being segmented, wherein the visual highlighting includes coloring the region of interest while the region of interest is being segmented. A computer readable storage medium encoded with computer readable instructions, which, when executed by a processer, causes the processor to:segment a region of interest in imaging data in a visual presentation of the imaging data and visually highlight, concurrently with the segmenting, the region of interest while the region of interest is being segmented, wherein the visual highlighting includes coloring the region of interest while the region of interest is being segmented.

Description

technical field [0001] The following generally relates to the segmentation of regions of interest (e.g., of tubular structures such as vessels, colon, bronchi, and / or other tubular structures and / or non-tubular structures) in imaging data, and more specifically, when The region of interest in the visual representation is highlighted (eg, colored) as the imaging data in the visual representation segments the region of interest. Background technique [0002] Three-dimensional (3D) visualization of imaging data allows visual presentation of a segmented structure of interest (e.g., one or more vascular lesions) from the imaging data within its anatomical context (e.g., a brain lesion in the context of a skull) . However, creating 3D visualizations using segmentation methods can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. For example, existing segmentation techniques often process entire datasets, which can be computationally intensive. [0003] Furthermore, automatic segmentation ...
