Automated Assessment Of Bowel Damage In Intestinal Diseases

摘要

A computer-automated method is presented for segmenting image data for an organ of a subject, where the organ is a tubular structure. The method includes: receiving image data representing a volume of the subject, such that the image data includes the organ; generating a centerline through the organ; determining location of an outer wall of the tube within the image data, where the location of the inner wall is determined using the centerline; determining location of an outer wall of the tube within the image data, where the location of the outer wall is determined using the inner wall; and computing a measure of the organ from the image data.
