Abstract
A method and system are for analyzing an anatomical structure of interest in 3D image data. In an embodiment, the method includes segmenting a first contour of the structure of interest in the 3D image data, the first contour defining a first segmented contour volume within the 3D image data; generating a first 2D pattern based on at least a portion of the surface of the first contour or based on at least a portion of the first segmented contour volume; performing a texture analysis on the first 2D pattern; and outputting a texture analysis information.
Claims22
A method for analyzing an anatomical structure of interest in 3D image data, comprising:
- segmenting a first contour of the anatomical structure of interest in the 3D image data, wherein the first contour defines a first segmented contour volume within the 3D image data;
- generating a first 2D pattern based on at least a portion of a surface of the first contour or based on at least a portion of the first segmented contour volume;
- performing a texture analysis on the first 2D pattern generated;
- and
- outputting texture analysis information, obtained based upon the texture analysis performed, for analyzing the anatomical structure of interest in the 3D image data.
A system for analyzing an anatomical structure of interest in 3D image data, comprising:
- a segmentation unit for segmenting a first contour of the anatomical structure of interest in the 3D image data, wherein the first contour defines a first segmented contour volume within the 3D image data;
- a 2D pattern generation unit for generating a first 2D pattern based on at least a portion of the surface of the first contour or based on at least a portion of the first segmented contour volume;
- a texture analysis unit for performing a texture analysis on the first 2D pattern;
- and
- an outputting unit for outputting texture analysis information, obtained based upon the texture analysis performed, for analyzing the anatomical structure of interest in the 3D image data.
A system for analyzing an anatomical structure of interest in 3D image data, comprising:
- a memory, storing a program including executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor to, upon execution of the executable instructions, be configured to
- segment a first contour of the anatomical structure of interest in the 3D image data, wherein the first contour defines a first segmented contour volume within the 3D image data,
- generate a first 2D pattern based on at least a portion of the surface of the first contour or based on at least a portion of the first segmented contour volume,
- perform a texture analysis on the first 2D pattern, and
- control outputting of texture analysis information, obtained based upon the texture analysis performed, for analyzing the anatomical structure of interest in the 3D image data.
