METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR BRAIN TUMOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE (MR) IMAGE SEGMENTATION, TUMOR THREE DIMENSIONAL VISUALIZATION AND VOLUMETRIC MEASUREMENT
The present invention provides a method and system for executing the segmentation, three dimensional visualization and volumetric measurement of brain tumours in Magnetic Resonance (MR) images that comprises a first step
10 (201) of inputting a series of Magnetic Resonance (MR) slice sequences (100)
in the form of electronic data obtained from any one of a Magnetic Resonance (MR) scanning device (320) and a storage (312) disk device or other computer readable medium, a second step (202) of identifying and selecting a plurality of
abnormal Magnetic Resonance (MR) slices (100) from the inputted series of 15 Magnetic Resonance (MR) slice sequences (100), the abnormal Magnetic Resonance (MR) slices (100) being indicative of the presence of a tumour (50),
a third step (203) of performing active contour model based segmentation on the selected Magnetic Resonance (MR) slices (100) to determine boundaries of an identified tumour which results in a plurality of image segmented Magnetic 20 Resonance (MR) slices (100), a fourth step of (204) of performing threedimensional
tumour visualization utilizing -shape theory by superimposing the plurality of image segmented Magnetic Resonance (MR) slices (100), and a final
step of performing a volume calculation of an identified tumour based on aforementioned fourth.
