METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING QUANTITATIVE DATA FOR BILIARY TREE STRUCTURES

A method (200) and apparatus (1100) for generating quantitative data for biliary tree structures from volumetric medical imaging scan data. The method comprises performing segmentation (230; 300) of a volume of the medical imaging scan data to identify tubular biliary structures within the volume of...

Zusammenfassung:A method (200) and apparatus (1100) for generating quantitative data for biliary tree structures from volumetric medical imaging scan data. The method comprises performing segmentation (230; 300) of a volume of the medical imaging scan data to identify tubular biliary structures within the volume of the medical imaging scan data; for at least one segmented tubular biliary structure within the volume of the medical imaging scan data, computing (240; 800) at least one set of quantitative structural parameters for at least one location along the length of the tubular biliary structure; and outputting (250) quantitative biliary tree data comprising the at least one set of quantitative structural parameters for the at least one segmented tubular biliary structure.
