  • Patent number: 11826191
    Abstract: The present disclosure directs to a system and method for image processing. The method for image processing comprises acquiring a plurality of original computed tomography (CT) images of a spine of a subject; generating CT value images of the spine of the subject by processing the plurality of original CT images. The method further includes identifying an optimal sagittal image in which a centerline of the spine is located based on the CT value images. The method further includes identifying the centerline of the spine within the optimal sagittal image. The method further includes identifying a center point and a direction of at least one intervertebral disc along the centerline of the spine. The method still further includes reconstructing an image of the at least one intervertebral disc based on the center point and the direction of the at least one intervertebral disc.

  • Publication number: 20220327703
    Abstract: The present disclosure directs to a method for image processing. The method may include obtaining scanning data of a spine of a subject, determining one or more centrum parameters of each of a plurality of centrums of the spine based on the scanning data, and identifying at least one intervertebral disc based on the one or more centrum parameters. Each of the at least one intervertebral disc may be between a pair of neighboring centrums of the plurality of centrums. The method may include determining an intervertebral disc reconstruction protocol of each of the at least one intervertebral disc, determining a target intervertebral disc of the at least one intervertebral disc, and reconstructing one or more images of the target intervertebral disc based on an intervertebral disc reconstruction protocol of the target intervertebral disc. The intervertebral disc reconstruction protocols may relate to MPR.
