  • Method and system for automatic recognition of preneoplastic anomalies in anatomic structures based on an improved region-growing segmentation, and commputer program therefor
    Patent number: 8111896
    Abstract: A process for the automatic recognition of anomalies in anatomical structures, as well as a processing system and a computer program for implementing the process are described, the process comprising the steps of: acquisition (10) of a plurality of two-dimensional images of at least a portion of a patient's body, which are suitable for forming a three-dimensional representation of at least one anatomical structure under observation, segmentation (20) of a region of interest of the three-dimensional representation, potentially bearing the anomalies, selection (30, 40) of the volume image elements (voxels) of the segmented region that are candidates for belonging to anomalies of the anatomical structure represented, on the basis of predetermined morphological parameters, and classification (70) of the voxels as elements suspected of belonging to anomalies or elements not belonging to anomalies, in which the segmentation (20) takes place by progressive growth of the region of interest by aggregation of voxels
