Abstract
A method for detecting pulmonary embolisms in computed tomographic (CT) angiography includes providing a digitized (CT) image acquired from inside a pulmonary vessel, the image comprising a plurality of intensities corresponding to a 3-dimensional grid of voxels, for each voxel in the image, extracting a first pulmonary embolism (PE) candidate and PE boundary from the voxel, and for each voxel in the PE boundary, selecting a voxel from the PE boundary, extracting a subsequent PE candidate and PE boundary from the voxel, merging the subsequent PE candidate with the first PE candidate, and merging the subsequent PE boundary with the first PE boundary.
