Abstract
A system and a method for indicating at least one of the internal structures of an organ on an X-ray image are proposed. The system includes an interface adapted to receive the X-ray image and a non-X-ray image pertaining to the organ. The system also includes a database having a geometric model of the internal structures of the organ, a first module for determining at least a dimension of one of the internal structures of the organ from the non-X-ray image, and a second module for indicating the at least one of the internal structures of the organ in the X-ray image based on the geometric model adjusted by the at least one dimension.
Claims14
A system for processing an X-ray image of an organ, comprising:
- an X-ray image processor adapted to receive the X-ray image of the organ and a non-X-ray image processor adapted to receive a non-X-ray image of the organ;
- a memory hosting database comprising a geometric model of an internal structure of the organ;
- a first processor for determining a dimension of the internal structure of the organ from the non-X-ray image;
- and
- a second processor for indicating the internal structure of the organ in the X-ray image based on the geometric model adjusted by the dimension.
A method for indicating an internal structure of an organ in an X-ray image of the organ, comprising:
- receiving the X-ray image of the organ and a non-X-ray image of the organ;
- determining a dimension of the internal structure of the organ from the non-X-ray image;
- selecting a geometric model of the internal structure of the organ appropriate with the dimension determined from a database;
- and
- indicating the internal structure of the organ in the X-ray image based on the geometric model adjusted by the dimension.
