  • Hierarchical analysis of medical images for identifying and assessing lymph nodes
    Patent number: 11514571
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying and assessing lymph nodes are provided. Medical image data (e.g., one or more computed tomography images) of a patient is received and anatomical landmarks in the medical image data are detected. Anatomical objects are segmented from the medical image data based on the one or more detected anatomical landmarks. Lymph nodes are identified in the medical image data based on the one or more detected anatomical landmarks and the one or more segmented anatomical objects. The identified lymph nodes may be assessed by segmenting the identified lymph nodes from the medical image data and quantifying the segmented lymph nodes. The identified lymph nodes and/or the assessment of the identified lymph nodes are output.
