Abstract
There is provided a computer implemented method for generating summary images from 3D medical images, comprising: receiving a 3D medical image, dividing the 3D medical images into a sequence of a plurality 2D images, computing a similarity dataset indicative of an amount of similarity between each pair of the plurality of 2D images, segmenting the similarity dataset into a plurality of slabs by minimizing the amount of similarity between consecutive slabs and maximizing the amount of similarity within each slab, aggregating, for each respective slab, the plurality of 2D images into a respective summary image, and presenting on a display, the respective summary image.
