Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A tumor of interest is classified based on 3-dimensional image data for visualizing the tumor. The system includes an overlay data structure (OL) for computing a TNM (Tumor-Node-Metastasis) overlay for displaying in a tumor image computed from the image data. The TNM overlay includes TNM information for determining the stage of the tumor. An overlay unit (U 10 ) computes the TNM overlay based on the overlay data structure, and positions the TNM overlay on the tumor image. The size of the TNM overlay is based on the scale of the computed tumor image. By making the size of the TNM overlay dependent on the scale of the tumor image, the ratio of the distance between two locations on the positioned TNM overlay to the distance between two locations in the computed tumor image is substantially constant, i.e., substantially independent of the visualization of the image data.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system for classifying a tumor of interest based on 3-dimensional image data for visualizing the tumor of interest, the system comprising: an overlay data structure for computing a Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) overlay for displaying in a tumor image, the tumor image being computed from the image data, wherein the TNM overlay comprises TNM information for determining the stage of the tumor of interest; and an overlay unit for computing the TNM overla…
