  • Patent number: 9311705
    Abstract: This invention provides a system, method and computer-readable medium for detecting and localizing organs and other regions of interest in medical image data provided by a medical imaging procedure using gradient template information with respect to an example of the imaged organ and cross-correlation techniques to generate object detection information. In an embodiment, the detection and localization process/processor receives a plurality of gradient templates and employers a template with the closest matching cross-correlation to the gradient of the organ in the medical image.

  • Publication number: 20150262354
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed that forms a novel, synthetic, two-dimensional image of an anatomical region such as a breast. Two-dimensional regions of interest (ROIs) such as masses are extracted from three-dimensional medical image data, such as digital tomosynthesis reconstructed volumes. Using image processing technologies, the ROIs are then blended with two-dimensional image information of the anatomical region to form the synthetic, two-dimensional image. This arrangement and resulting image desirably improves the workflow of a physician reading medical image data, as the synthetic, two-dimensional image provides detail previously only seen by interrogating the three-dimensional medical image data.
