  • Method and apparatus for three-dimensional interactive tools for semi-automatic segmentation and editing of image objects
    Patent number: 7773786
    Abstract: A system and method for segmenting and editing anatomical objects from medical images is disclosed. The system may be a medical diagnostic imaging system. A computer unit may execute computer software for segmenting anatomical objects from medical images. The computer software may extract an anatomical object from planar curves. Additionally, the computer software may correct the shape of an existing three-dimensional anatomical object from planar curves. The planar curves may be orthogonal to each other. A user may contour of an anatomical object on a plurality of slices, such as an axial slice a sagittal slice, a coronal slice, or some combination thereof. The contour may be drawn using a tracing pen on a display unit. The display unit may receive touch screen input from the tracing pen. The display unit may display the three-dimensional segmented anatomical object.
