Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for analyzing a three-dimensional (3-D) region of interest relative to a predetermined event. The system and method are particularly useful as analytical, diagnostic and interpretive tools for any type of scientific data.
Claims32
A method for analyzing a three dimensional region of interest relative to a predetermined event, the method comprising the steps of:
- defining a boundary of the event;
- defining the region of interest relative to the boundary of the event;
- selecting a first attribute and a second attribute, the first attribute and second attribute representing the region of interest;
- calculating a first attribute volume and a second attribute volume for the region of interest, the first attribute volume and the second attribute volume each comprising a plurality of voxels, each voxel being defined by a set of x,y,z coordinates and a data value;
- selecting a first set of voxels from the first attribute volume that have a data value within a first attribute data value range, the first set of voxels representing a preferred feature of the region of interest;
- selecting a second set of voxels from the second attribute volume that have a data value within a second attribute data value range, the second set of voxels representing the preferred feature;
- and
- imaging the first set of voxels and the second set of voxels.
A system comprising a program storage device readable by a machine, the storage device embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine for analyzing a 3-D region of interest relative to a predetermined event, the instructions comprising the steps of:
- defining a boundary of the event;
- defining the region of interest relative to the boundary of the event;
- selecting a first attribute and a second attribute, the first attribute and second attribute representing the region of interest;
- calculating a first attribute volume and a second attribute volume for the region of interest, the first attribute volume and the second attribute volume each comprising a plurality of voxels, each voxel being defined by a set of x,y,z coordinates and a data value;
- selecting a first set of voxels from the first attribute volume that have a data value within a first attribute data value range, the first set of voxels representing a preferred feature of the region of interest;
- selecting a second set of voxels from the second attribute volume that have a data value within a second attribute data value range, the second set of voxels representing the preferred feature;
- and
- imaging the first set of voxels and the second set of voxels.
