Abstract:
A system for analyzing an at least three-dimensional medical image comprises a lesion detector (51) for identifying a lesion (4) represented by the image. A surface detector (52) identifies at least part of a surface (5) of an object represented by the image. Means (53) are provided for establishing an orientation of the lesion (4) with respect to at least part of the surface (5), based on an output of the lesion detector (51) and an output of the surface detector (52). A model fitter (54) fits a model (6) to the lesion (4). The means (53) for establishing an orientation of the lesion (4) comprises a lesion orientation detector (56) for computing an orientation value (α) indicative of an orientation of the model (6) with respect to at least part of the surface (5).
