ANATOMICAL LANDMARK DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION FROM DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY IMAGES CONTAINING SEVERE SKELETAL DEFORMATIONS

Conventionally, systems and methods have been provided for manual annotation of anatomical landmarks in digital radiography (DR) images. Embodiments of the present disclosure provides system and method for anatomical landmark detection and identification from DR images containing severe skeletal deformations. More specifically, motion artefacts and exposure are filtered from an input DR image to obtain a pre-processed DR image and probable/candidate anatomical landmarks comprised therein are identified. These probable candidate anatomical landmarks are assigned a score. A subset of the candidate anatomical landmarks (CALs) is selected as accurate anatomical landmarks based on comparison of the score with a pre-defined threshold performed by a trained classifier. Position of remaining CALs may be fine-tuned for classification thereof as accurate anatomical landmarks or missing anatomical landmarks. The CALs may be further fed to the system for checking misalignment of any of the CALs and correcting the misaligned CALs.

This patent includes a method and apparatus for assigning a three-dimensional coordinate system to a segmented structure of a three-dimensional imaging examination of a tangible volume containing discrete structures. The boundary of a segmented structure, which corresponds to a discrete structure is determined through a segmentation algorithm. The assigned three-dimensional coordinate system has an origin and a set of coordinate axes. This allows each voxel within the segmented structure of the three-dimensional imaging examination to have a precise coordinate. This provides improved longitudinal analysis and more precise localization within the segmented structure.
