Abstract

Described herein are systems and methods for efficient and accurate, automated detection of a region of interest interior to the ribcage from an in vivo mammalian image. It is found that efficient, automated identification of the region of interest interior to the ribcage can be achieved by the use of both a bone distance mask and a surface distance mask. The technique solves the problem of accurate and fast identification of the region of interest for a wide range of sizes and shapes of mammals, e.g., small mammals such as mice.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to methods and systems for image analysis. More particularly, in certain embodiments, the present invention relates to automated detection of tissue inside the thorax of a mammal. Background technique [0002] Numerous techniques exist for in vivo imaging of mammals, for example, bioluminescence, fluorescence, tomographic, and multimodal imaging. In vivo imaging of small mammals is performed by a large group of research investigators in various fields such as oncology, infectious disease, and drug discovery. [0003] In vivo imaging typically involves the use of reagents, such as fluorescent probes, for the non-invasive spatiotemporal visualization of biological phenomena inside living animals. For example, fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) involves in vivo imaging of mammals for quantitative analysis of administered and / or endogenous probes. In vivo microCT imaging is an x-ray-based technique that can i...
