Abstract
A method for computer aided detection of pulmonary emboli includes acquiring medical image data. A pulmonary embolism candidate comprising a cluster of voxels is identified. It is determined whether the candidate is a true pulmonary embolism or a false positive based on a spatial distribution of intensity values for the voxels of the cluster of voxels. The pulmonary embolism candidate is presented to a user when the candidate is determined to be a true pulmonary embolism.
