Abstract: A method of image processing in a radiological apparatus includes reconstructing a 3D image of a body from a set of radiography projection images, locating structures presumed to be representative of 3D radiological signs within the 3D image, determining a set of 2D candidate particles corresponding to projections of the presumed 3D radiological signs, assigning, through a fuzzy logic description, to the 2D candidate particles a degree of membership in 2D membership classes of a set of membership classes, each membership class being relative to a type of radiological sign, considering a 2D fuzzy particle being formed by the set of the 2D candidate particles and by their respective degrees of membership in a class, making an aggregate of the 2D fuzzy particles to obtain 3D fuzzy particles in a digital volume, and determining a degree of confidence for each 3D radiological sign from the 3D fuzzy particles.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for image processing an algorithm is used to detect radiological signals in a series of 3D data. The algorithm indicates the position of a radiological signs in a digital volume by means of markers. The algorithm has the potential to distinguish automatically between malignant elements and benign elements. The algorithm comprises a fuzzy logic approach to explain the ambiguities in the image. The algorithm is applied directly to the radiography projection images.
