Method and system for detecting pleural irregularities in medical images

The invention relates to a method and system for detecting pleural irregularities in medical images. Various methods and systems for a medical imaging system are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes: acquiring a series of medical images of a lung; identifying pleural lines in each medical image of the series; evaluating irregularities of the pleural line in each medical image of the series; and outputting an annotated version of each medical image of the series, the annotated version comprising visual indicia of healthy pleura and irregular pleura. In this way, an operator of the medical imaging system may be alerted to pleural irregularities during a scan. 本发明题为"用于检测医学图像中的胸膜不规则性的方法和系统"。本发明提供了用于医学成像系统的各种方法和系统。在一个实施方案中，一种方法包括：采集肺的一系列医学图像；识别该系列的每个医学图像中的胸膜线；评估该系列的每个医学图像中的该胸膜线的不规则性；以及输出该系列的每个医学图像的注释版本，该注释版本包括健康胸膜和不规则胸膜的视觉标记。这样，该医学成像系统的操作者可在扫描期间被警示胸膜不规则性。
