Cognition Network Technology for Fully Automatic 3D Segmentation of Lymph Nodes in CT Data

摘要

Definiens Cognition Network Technology is used to automatically segment lymph nodes in their anatomical context from CT data. Image analysis results of 28 patient data sets are compared to annotations provided by medical experts. Related to the annotations the sensitivity is on average about 80% while the averaged false positive rate is about 2 per scan.
