The present invention is a multi-stage detection algorithm using a successive nodule candidate refinement approach. The detection algorithm involves four major steps. First, the lung region is segmented from a whole lung CT scan. This is followed by a hypothesis generation stage in which nodule candidate locations are identified from the lung region. In the third stage, nodule candidate sub-images pass through a streaking artifact removal process. The nodule candidates are then successively refined using a sequence of filters of increasing complexity. A first filter uses attachment area information to remove vessels and large vessel bifurcation points from the nodule candidate list. A second filter removes small bifurcation points. The invention also improves the consistency of nodule segmentations. This invention uses rigid-body registration, histogram-matching, and a rule-based adjustment system to remove missegmented voxels between two segmentations of the same nodule at different times.

A system, method and computer program product is provided for analyzing spectral images of a micrcirculatory system to measure the volume and concentration of a blood vessel. The images are analyzed to identify vessel structure, measure the light absorption and develop a contrast gradient plus (KGP) estimate. The KGP estimate is used to predict blood characteristics, such as hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit. The KGP is estimated in three distinct phases. First, the images are screened to measure a mean image intensity and motion blur. Second, each image is analyzed to identify background curvate, and create vessel, background and diameter masks. To identify background curvate, the images are analyzed to detect shadows caused by larger blood vessels in the background image. The diameter and area of the vessels are also calculated. During the Prediction and Calibration phase, the images are screened to eliminate all images failing thresholds for mean intensity, motion blur, background curvature and area-to-perimeter ratio. Finally, the KGP estimate is determined from the selected images.
