SEGMENTATION IN DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING APPLICATIONS BASED ON STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OVER TIME

摘要

A segmentation solution for use in image diagnosis applications is presented. The corresponding data processing segmentation method (A1-A10) is: providing an indication for a non-zero analysis time of a body part perfused with a contrast agent (A1-A4), wherein the indication is The step of including a response instruction to an interrogation signal during an analysis time of the location for each location of a set of locations; For each selected position of a set of selected positions, calculating a value of at least one statistical parameter of the statistical distribution of responses during the analysis time of the selected position (A5-A6), wherein the set of selected positions is The step of including all locations or portions thereof; And dividing the selected location according to a comparison between values of the at least one statistical parameter for the selected location having at least one division threshold (A7-A9).
