Multi-structure atlas and/or use thereof
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor that generates a single multi-structure atlas, wherein the single multi-structure atlas physically maps a first anatomical structure to a second different anatomical structure in the anatomical frame of reference of the first anatomical structure and the second different anatomical structure with respect to each other, such that locating the first anatomical structure in structural image data using the single multi-structure atlas identifies the second different anatomical structure in the structural image data.

Abstract
An image data processor (106) includes a structural image data processor (114) that employs a multi-structure atlas to segment a region of interest from structural image data that includes tissue of interest and that segments the tissue of interests from the region of interest. The image data processor further includes functional image data processor (116) that identifies the tissue of interest in functional image data based on the segmented tissue of interest. An image data processor includes a multi-structure atlas generator (104) that generates a multi-structure atlas. The multi-structure atlas physically maps structure to tissue of interest such that locate the structure in structural image data based on the multi-structure atlas localizes the tissue of interest to the region of interest.

10. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor that generates a single multi-structure atlas by mapping a physical spatial location of structure of interest segmented from structural image data to tissue of interest segmented from the structural image data, wherein the generated single multi-structure atlas physically maps the structure of interest to the tissue of interest such that locating the structure of interest in the structural image data based on the single multi-structure atlas identifies the tissue of interest in the structural image data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
