Abstract
The invention provides systems, apparatus and methods for digital image processing providing enhanced display of and radiomics generated from images generated from x-ray and other medical imaging data. Such systems, apparatus and methods capture and use that data to identify distinct gradations, e.g., of grayscale within and beyond the spectrum of human vision, then delineate borders based on ranges of gradation, forming irregular multi-layer visual objects with delineated internal contouring and an outer boundary, and then enhance the delineated layers and superimpose the enhancing display over and/or determine radiomic measures of the corresponding areas of the original image, thereby revealing underlying morphology of masses previously obscured, hidden or “masked” from human vision.
Claims16
A method comprising
- A. walking the perimeter of a shape in a medical image to generate a list of coordinates defining that perimeter,
- B. dividing the list into groups of coordinates divided by inflection points on the perimeter,
- C. determining for each group of coordinates a span-to-length ratio, where span refers to a distance on a cartesian coordinate system between endpoints of the respective group, and where length refers to a sum of distances measured moving along a path defined by the respective group,
- D. determining respective percentages that groups having selected span-to-length ratios comprise of a length of the perimeter, and
- E. any of enhancing the medical image or identifying a morphology of a tissue imaged in the medical image as a function of those respective percentages.
