  • Method and apparatus for measuring rotation parameters of a spine on medical images
    Patent number: 9767558
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for measuring rotation parameters of a spine on medical images. The method comprises: selecting a reference image and a movement image from the medical images; determining a lower spine image and an upper spine image in the reference image, and determining a lower spine image and an upper spine image in the movement image; registering the lower spine image in the movement image with the lower spine image in the reference image; correcting the upper spine image in the movement image according to output parameters of registration of the lower spine images; superposing the upper spine image in the reference image with the corrected upper spine image in the movement image to obtain a superposed image; and calculating to obtain the rotation parameters according to a position difference between the upper spine image in the reference image and the upper spine image in the movement image on the superposed image.
