A short axis in a 3 dimensional image of a lesion is determined starting from voxels defining the long axis and voxels in the plane of the long axis. Voxels within the plane of the long axis are projected perpendicularly onto the long axis and receive an identifier indicative of the region on the long axis onto which they are projected. Distances between points (projected sub-voxels) in pairs of points within the same range and within adjacent ranges are evaluated in order to determine the longest distance.

Method for determining the short axis in a lesion region in a three dimensional medical image

Vascular structures are segmented by a locally adaptive method based on iterative region growing and morphological operations.
