  • Method for automatic separation of segmented tubular and circular objects
    Patent number: 8532356
    Abstract: A method for labeling connected tubular objects within segmented image data, including: receiving segmented image data; and labeling the segmented image data to identify a plurality of components in the segmented image data, wherein the labeling includes: processing the segmented image data to create a processed image that represents centerline and radii estimates of the connected tubular components; determining seed point candidates in the processed image that are within a band of radii; grouping the candidates based on their physical distance from each other and their radii estimates; partitioning the segmented image data in accordance with the grouped candidates; and assigning a separate color label to each of the plurality of components that are different from each other.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 14, 2007
    Date of Patent: September 10, 2013
    Assignee: Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.
    Inventors: Atilla P. Kiraly, Carol L. Novak
  • Object centric data reformation with application to rib visualization
    Patent number: 8483462
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for visualizing components of a 3D medical image includes the steps of performing a segmentation on the 3D medical image to generate a segmented structure, obtaining a surface definition based upon the segmented structure, and generating a series of 2D images using the surface definition and deformations of the surface definition.
