Automatic Compartment Modelling and Segmentation for Dynamical Renal Scintigraphies
Publication: Research - peer-review › Article in proceedings – Annual report year: 2011
Time-resolved medical data has important applications in
a large variety of medical applications. In this paper we study automatic
analysis of dynamical renal scintigraphies. The traditional analysis
pipeline for dynamical renal scintigraphies is to use manual or semiautomatic
methods for segmentation of pixels into physical compartments,
extract their corresponding time-activity curves and then compute the
parameters that are relevant for medical assessment. In this paper we
present a fully automatic system that incorporates spatial smoothing
constraints, compartment modelling and positivity constraints to produce
an interpretation of the full time-resolved data. The method has
been tested on renal dynamical scintigraphies with promising results. It
is shown that the method indeed produces more compact representations,
while keeping the residual of fit low. The parameters of the time
activity curve, such as peak-time and time for half activity from peak, are
compared between the previous semiautomatic method and the method
presented in this paper. It is also shown how to obtain new and clinically
relevant features using our novel system.
