Method for automatic detection of tumor, involves determining course of cross-sections of hollow organ along center line, selecting area of hollow organ, determining characteristic of selected area, and assessing characteristic of area

摘要

The method involves determining (B1) a course of cross-sections of the hollow organ along the center line, and selecting (A) an area of the hollow organ using the course of the cross-sections, where the area has a geometric characteristic of the tumor. A characteristic of the selected area is determined (B2). A portion of the three-dimensional reconstruction is registered (R) with another three-dimensional reconstruction of a portion of the hollow organ. The specific characteristic of the selected area is assessed (Bu) to determine whether it is in the selected area around the tumor. An independent claim is included for a system for automatic detection of a tumor.
