    Abstract: Volume measurement of for example a tumor in a 3D image dataset is an important and often performed task. The problem is to segment the tumor out of this volume in order to measure its dimensions. This problem is complicated by the fact that the tumors are often connected to vessels and other organs. According to the present invention, an automated method and corresponding device and computer software are provided, which analyze a volume of interest around a singled out tumor, and which, by virtue of a 3D distance transform and a region drawing scheme advantageously allow to automatically segment a tumor out of a given volume.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of forming an isolated visualization of body structures from a 3D image data set, which method includes the steps of forming a binary data set in which all image elements contained in the 3D image data set are classified as image elements which are to be visualized in isolated form and image elements which are not to be visualized, where filtering of the image values is performed by means of limit values of the image values and all image elements of the binary data set of image structures contained in the 3D image data set which are smaller than a predetermined size are selected, of forming a filtered data set by entering the image values of the original 3D image data set for the image elements which are characterized as image elements to be visualized in isolated form in the binary data set, and of forming the visualization of the isolated body structure from the filtered data set. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the described method and also to programming means which carry out the described steps when executed on a computer.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a system (100) for interactive definition of a region of interest in an image data space, the system (100) comprising a point unit (110) for selecting a plurality of points for defining a boundary of the region of interest on the basis of user inputs and a boundary unit (120) for determining the boundary on the basis of the plurality of points, thereby defining the region of interest, wherein the boundary unit further comprises a domain unit (122) for determining a domain space for a parameterization of the boundary, a projection unit (124) for projecting each point of the plurality of points onto the domain space and an approximation unit (126) for computing a map for mapping the domain space into the image data space, wherein values of the map are points defining the boundary of the region of interest, such that the composition of said projection and said map satisfies a condition for defining the map. Only points necessary for defining the ROI need to be selected. For a simple-shape structure of interest, or for a structure of interest which is at a fair distance from other non- interesting structures, the number of points for defining a ROI comprising said structure of interest can be quite low. For a complex-shape structure of interest, a sufficient number of points can be selected to define a ROI that comprises said structure of interest but does not comprise, for example, a view-occluding structure. The intensities of voxels comprised in the structure of interest do not affect the definition of the ROI, because the ROI is defined on the basis of the selected plurality of points and is not affected by said intensities.

    Abstract: Ground glass opacities in the lung are non-solid nebular-like shadows in the parenchyma tissue of the lung, which may be precursors of a lung cancer. According to the present invention, ground glass opacities may automatically be determined on the basis of a texture analysis of the parenchyma. Advantageously, according to the present invention, a robust and reliable determination of ground glass opacities may be provided, even if vessels, lung walls, airspace or bronchi walls are present within the local neighborhood of the ground glass opacity.
