20110235884, Sep 29, 2011

Filed:

Mar 25, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/072144

Inventors:

Eduard Schreibmann - Atlanta GA, US

Assignee:

Emory University - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382131

Abstract:

Disclosed are systems for and methods of creating a synthetic image by registering a reference or atlas image to a clinical image using both rigid and deformable image registration algorithms. In some embodiments, a synthetic computed tomography (CT) image may be created by registering an atlas CT image to a clinical image such as an MR scan. Rigid registration in some embodiments may be followed by a smoothing B-spline transform algorithm with a mutual information similarity metric and an optimizer; followed then by an image signal intensity algorithm with displacement vectors at each voxel and diffeomorphic transformations.

Abstract:

Systems, methods and computer program products identify first biologic data in a region of interest in a first image and calculate a first biologic volume histogram from the first biologic data. Second biologic data in the same region of interest is identified in a second image and a second biologic volume histogram is calculated from the second biologic data. A difference in intensity for the region of interest is determined using the first biologic volume histogram and the second biologic volume histogram.
