Title:
知識構造のマッピングを使用した管状器官を測定する方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2008521461
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Various methods for automatically generating a structured clinical report by using a pre-defined template structure and mapping it to the imaging data set of an organ (such as a CT or MR scan) are presented. A template or knowledge structure may describe the general structure of a tube-like organ, and may be based on prior knowledge related to acceptable ranges of measurement or rations for a particular organ or area of interest. The organ of interest may be segmented out from original image slices. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention a corresponding centerline can be calculated and a skeleton of the tube-like organ can be created. Based on the centerline extracted, a knowledge structure (template) can be mapped to the organ data. Since required measurements may be defined in the template, actual measurements can be automatically calculated for the structure. Such measurements may be further refined in a three dimensional environment, and can be used to form a structured clinical report for further use.
