Abstract
A method of analyzing a medical image, the method comprising making a measurement on a 2D medical image of an organ and correcting the measurement in view of an angle of incidence between an imaging instrument and an imaged organ in the 2D medical image.
Claims55
A method of analyzing a medical image, the method comprising:
- (a) making a measurement on a 2D medical image of an organ;
- and
- (b) correcting the measurement in view of an angle of incidence between an imaging instrument and an imaged organ in the 2D medical image.
A method of organ modeling, the method comprising:
- (a) acquiring a plurality of 2D images of an organ from a plurality of subjects, each image characterized by an angle of incidence;
- and
- (b) producing a series of angle specific 2D models, each angle specific 2D model comprising a representation of the organ based upon 2D images with angles of incidence in a defined range.
A method of estimating an angle of incidence from which a 2D medical image was captured;
- the method comprising:
- (a) acquiring a 2D medical image of an organ from a subject;
- (b) comparing the acquired image to at least one angle specific 2D model of the organ;
- (c) determining a match score between the image and the angle specific 2D model;
- and
- (d) estimating an angle of incidence to the image based upon the match score.

An image analysis system, the system comprising:
- (a) an input module adapted to receive an input image of an organ;
- (b) a memory containing a plurality of angle specific 2D organ models, each model characterized by an angle of incidence;
- and
- (c) analytic circuitry adapted to estimate an angle of incidence of the input image by comparing the input image to the plurality.
