Three-dimensional radiological image processing method for e.g. vascular imaging, involves finding thrombus sections contours in cutting planes, and displaying cutting plane of interests cross sectional view where contours are highlighted

摘要

The method involves detecting on an image a unit associated with a particular vascular structure and corresponding to thrombus (20). The structure is cut out along a series of cutting planes extending perpendicularly to a central line of the structure. Contours (21) of the section of the thrombus are found in each plane. A cross sectional view of a cutting plane of interest is displayed, on which the contours are highlighted. An independent claim is also included for a tool for processing a three dimensional radiological image.
