Abstract
A computer-implemented method for aligning sub-volumes includes receiving a data volume, providing a plurality of parameters of the sub-volumes, and determining a start point of each of the two or more sub-volume according to the plurality of parameters. The method further includes determining an amount of mis-alignment of the two or more sub-volumes, and shifting a start point of each sub-volume to align the start points with a grid of a virtual volume. The method may include determining a feature in the two or more sub-volumes, which have been aligned. The method may include visualizing the aligned sub-volumes.
Claims19
A computer readable medium embodying a program of instructions executable by a processor to perform method steps for aligning sub-volumes for feature extraction, the method steps comprising:
- receiving a data volume;
- providing a plurality of parameters of the sub-volumes;
- determining a start point of each of the two or more sub-volume according to the plurality of parameters;
- determining an amount of mis-alignment of the two or more sub-volumes;
- shifting a start point of each sub-volume to align the start points with a grid of a virtual volume;
- and
- determining a feature in the two or more sub-volumes, which have been aligned.
A computer readable medium embodying instructions executable by a processor to perform a method for aligning sub-volumes for visualization, comprising:
- receiving a data volume;
- providing a plurality of parameters of the sub-volumes;
- determining a start point of each of the two or more sub-volume according to the plurality of parameters;
- determining an amount of mis-alignment of the two or more sub-volumes;
- shifting a start point of each sub-volume to align the start points with a grid of a virtual volume;
- and
- displaying the sub-volumes having aligned start points, wherein a region of interest in each sub-volume has identical voxel values.
