Abstract
There is provided a computer-implemented method for detecting a fatty liver, comprising: receiving imaging data of a computed tomography (CT) scan performed using a single source CT Scanner with settings selected for imaging of non-fatty-liver pathology, segmenting a region of the liver by creating a binary image by applying binary segmentation to a sub-set of pixels of the imaging data according to a first set-of-rules, and mapping the region of liver of the binary image to the segmented region of the portion of the liver of the imaging data, calculating liver parameter(s) for the segmented region of the liver from Hounsfield unit (HU) value(s), and detecting the presence of a fatty liver by analyzing the calculated liver parameter(s) according to a second set-of-rules.
