    Abstract: A method for in-room computer reconstruction of a three-dimensional (3-D) coronary arterial tree from routine biplane angiograms acquired at arbitrary angles and without using calibration objects. The method includes eight major steps: (1) acquiring biplane projection images of the coronary structure, (2) detecting, segmenting and identifying vessel centerlines and constructing a vessel hierarchy representation, (3) calculating bifurcation points and measuring vessel diameters in coronary angiograms if biplane imaging geometry data is not available, (4) determining biplane imaging parameters in terms of a rotation matrix R and a unit translation vector t based on the identified bifurcation points, (5) retrieving imaging parameters if biplane imaging geometry data is already known, (6) establishing the centerline correspondences of the two-dimensional arterial representations, (7) calculating and recovering the 3-D coronary arterial tree based on the calculated biplane imaging parameters, correspondences of vessel centerlines, and vessel diameters, and (8) rendering the reconstructed 3-D coronary tree and estimating an optimal view of the vasculature to minimize vessel overlap and vessel foreshortening.

    Abstract: A method and system for automated detection of lesions such as masses and/or parenchymal distortions in medical images such as mammograms. Dense regions and subcutaneous fat regions (102) within a mammogram (100) are segmented (101). A background correction may be performed within the dense regions. Hough spectrum within ROIs (104) placed in the breast region of a mammogram (100) are calculated and thresholded (106) using the intensity value eta in order to increase sensitivity and reduce the number of false-positive detections. Lesions are detected based on the thresholded Hough spectra. The thresholded Hough spectra are also used to differentiate between benign and malignant masses.

    Abstract: A method and system for computerized registration of radionuclide images with radiographic images, including generating image data from radiographic and radionuclide images of the thorax (10, 12). Techniques include contouring the lung regions in each type of chest image (15, 16), scaling (17) and registration (19) of the contours based on location of lung apices, and superimposition (18) after appropriate shifting of the images. Specific applications are given for the automated registration of radionuclide lung scans with chest radiographs. The method in the example given yields a system that spatially registers and correlates digitized chest radiographs with V/Q scans in order to correlate V/Q functional information with the greater structural detail of chest radiographs.

    Abstract: A method for the automated segmentation of medical images (figures 5, 11, 12 and 20), including generating image data (figure 19) from radiographic images of the breast (figure 5). The method is applicable to breast mammograms including the extraction of the skinline as well as correction for non-uniform exposure conditions, hand radiographs (figure 11), and chest radiographs (figure 12). Techniques for the segmentation include noise filtering (152 of figure 15), local gray value range determination (153), modified global histogram analysis (154), region growing and determination of object contour (155). The method also is applicable to skin detection and analysis of skin thickening in medical images, where image segmentation (164), local optimization of external skinline (166), creation of a gradient image, identification of the internal skinline (167) and then skin thickness determination are carried out.
