IDENTIFICATION AND VISUALIZATION OF REGIONS OF INTEREST IN MEDICAL IMAGING

摘要

A system and method for displaying image data acquired in respect of, for example, a subject's brain. MRI image data is acquired (300) and a first contrast image, for example, MR T2 contrast mage is used to determine (304) the repair of hypo-intensity indicative of iron concentration. A second image is obtained (310) either by segmentation or by using a different type of contrast image, for example, Tl or PD, in which the boundaries between brain organs can be visibly determined. The regions of hypo-intensity (including the respective spatial resolution) is combined (312) with the second image to generate (314) an aggregate image showing the regions of hypo-intensity in association with the respective brain organs.
