Patent Images

1. A medical image analysis system for first and second anatomical image data of a same body area and subject to deformation, the first and second anatomical image data comprising respective first and second sets of voxels, the medical image analysis system comprising:

  • a memory; and

    a processor cooperating with said memory and configured togenerate a plurality of cost arrays, each cost array based upon probabilities of a subset of voxels of the second anatomical image data matching voxels of the first anatomical image data, andsolve each cost array using three-dimensional, N-way belief propagation to thereby generate a deformation vector array between the first and second anatomical image data, where N is an integer greater than or equal to six.
