摘要
The present disclosure provides a method and system using software and associated equipment to automatically identify two or more preselected anatomical features by examining pixels within images such as computerized tomography (CT) scanned images, determining appropriate measurements between such identified features based on dimensions and scaling available within the image file, comparing these measurements to normative data, and providing output of the results to a user, such as medical personnel. In at least one embodiment, system can measure the basion-dens interval (BDI), which has been shown to be an effective indicator of ligament injury within the occipito-cervical complex (“OCC”) that may not present with other symptoms, is not revealed with standard CT imaging, and is of mortal danger to the patient if untreated. The system can automate interpreting CT scanned images and alert medical personnel about the risk of OCC ligament damage.
