20110044523 | METHOD FOR SEGMENTING AN ORGAN IN VOLUME DATA RECORDS FROM MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING - A method is disclosed for segmenting an organ, more particularly the liver, in n-channel volume data records from magnetic resonance imaging. In at least one embodiment of the method, probability distributions are generated on the basis of segmentation results from n-channel training data records, which probability distributions specify probabilities of positions of voxels and intensity values, which have been reduced from n-dimensions to one dimension with the aid of discriminant reduction, of voxels in the training data records belonging to the organ. At least one 3D probability data record is then generated from the n-channel volume data records on the basis of the probability distributions, in which 3D probability data record each voxel is assigned a probability of belonging to the organ. A maximum value of the 3D probability data record is set as the start point for the segmentation, and the organ is subsequently segmented on the basis of the 3D probability data record using a region-growing technique. The method allows very reliable fully-automatic segmentation of the organ. | 02-24-2011 |

20120257805 | METHOD FOR THE FULLY AUTOMATIC SEGMENTATION OF AN ORGAN, IN PARTICULAR THE RENAL PARENCHYMA, FROM VOLUME DATA SETS IN MEDICAL IMAGING - A method is disclosed for segmenting an organ from volume data sets in medical imaging. A likelihood data set is generated. A binary data set is generated with the aid of a threshold value method, in which the organ region is eroded step by step. When the organ region is separated into a number of subregions, only one of the subregions, which is most likely to contain the organ, is selected for further erosion in each instance. This subregion is identified from geometrical features of the organ, which are known from the training data sets. In the likelihood data set the likelihood values of voxels of the subregions separated in the binary data set are reduced, so that a correspondingly corrected likelihood data set results. On the basis of this corrected likelihood data set the organ from the likelihood data set is segmented. | 10-11-2012 |
