Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes generating an image from scan data acquired during a non-diagnostic scan utilizing a computed tomography scanner. The computer-implemented method also includes performing object segmentation based on pixel connectivity on the image to generate segmented regions. The computer-implemented method further includes characterizing pixel connectivity properties of the segmented regions. The computer-implemented method still further includes obtaining respective bounding shape coordinates and area for bounding shapes of the segmented regions.
