Abstract
An approach for improving determining a significant slice associated with a tumor from a volume of medical images is disclosed. The approach is based on the annotation of tumor range and the slice index in which the tumor appears to have the largest area. The approach infer a tumor growth classifier on sliding window of the volume slices and creates a discrete integral function out of the classifier predictions. The approach applies post processing on the discrete integral function which can include a smoothing function and a bias correction. The approach selects the slice index of maximum value from the post processing step.
