Embodiment Construction

[0033] The following description focuses on embodiments of the invention that are applicable to medical imaging, and specifically to quantifying air trapped in a patient's lungs. It will however be appreciated that the invention is not limited to this application but may be applied to many other fields where it is desired to quantify structures in a volume of interest.

[0034] The present invention describes a way to quantify air-trapped diseases and how to allow efficient user interaction (graphical user interface) for the examination. The results of the present invention can also be used for rapid and accurate diagnosis of air-trapping diseases.

[0035] figure 1 An example of a pocket of trapped air 11 in a patient's lung is illustrated. A section through the patient's torso is shown, clearly identifying the thoracic region including the body borders and therein the spine 12, some ribs 13, the sternum 14 and the heart 15 in the thoracic cavity, some central trachea and t...

Abstract

The present invention describes a way to quantify the trapped-air disease and how to allow efficient user interaction for inspection via a graphical user interface. The results of the invention may also be used for rapid and accurate diagnosis of trapped air disease. An apparatus, graphical user interface, computer-readable medium and use are also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of medical imaging. More specifically, the present invention relates to the quantification of structures in objects of medical image datasets, such as medical image datasets obtained by medical imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Background technique [0002] Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of lung diseases characterized by airflow obstruction. According to statistics, COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States and is currently the only common cause of death with increasing incidence. COPD includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, mostly caused by heavy and prolonged smoking. The disease can also be triggered by long-term exposure to industrial pollutants and scarred lung tissue. COPD can also include chronic asthma with hypersensitivity to the air passages in the lungs. Bronchitis, emphysema, and a...
