Abstract
A first classification unit outputs a plurality of evaluation values indicating the possibility of being each of a plurality of types of case regions for each pixel of a three-dimensional image. Based on selected conversion definition information, a second classification unit converts a first classification result for each pixel of the three-dimensional image based on the plurality of evaluation values, and outputs a second classification result for each pixel of the three-dimensional image.
Claims13
A medical image classification apparatus for classifying pixels of a medical image into a plurality of types of case regions, the apparatus comprising:
- first classification unit for outputting a plurality of evaluation values indicating a possibility of being each of the plurality of types of case regions for each pixel of the medical image;
- storage unit for storing a plurality of pieces of conversion definition information for calculating a second classification result for each pixel of the medical image by converting a first classification result for each pixel of the medical image based on the plurality of evaluation values;
- and
- second classification unit for outputting the second classification result by converting the first classification result based on conversion definition information selected from the plurality of pieces of conversion definition information.
A medical image classification method of classifying pixels of a medical image into a plurality of types of case regions, the method comprising:
- outputting a plurality of evaluation values indicating a possibility of being each of the plurality of types of case regions for each pixel of the medical image;
- and
- outputting a second classification result by converting a first classification result based on conversion definition information selected from a plurality of pieces of conversion definition information for calculating the second classification result for each pixel of the medical image by converting the first classification result for each pixel of the medical image based on the plurality of evaluation values.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a medical image classification program for causing a computer to execute a medical image classification method of classifying pixels of a medical image into a plurality of types of case regions, the program causing the computer to execute:
- a step of outputting a plurality of evaluation values indicating a possibility of being each of the plurality of types of case regions for each pixel of the medical image;
- and
- a step of outputting a second classification result by converting a first classification result based on conversion definition information selected from a plurality of pieces of conversion definition information for calculating the second classification result for each pixel of the medical image by converting the first classification result for each pixel of the medical image based on the plurality of evaluation values.
