METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PERFORMING SEGMENTATION AND REGISTRATION OF IMAGES USING NEUTROSOPHIC SIMILARITY SCORES
First Claim
1. In a medical imaging system having an imaging device configured to scan a region of interest to acquire at least one of a first image including a first plurality of pixels and a second image including a second plurality of pixels and a processing unit configured to receive the first image from a first scan, calculate respective first neutrosophic similarity scores for each of the first plurality of pixels of the first image, and to segment the region of interest from a background of the first image using a region growing algorithm based on the respective first neutrosophic similarity scores for each of the first plurality of pixels, the processing unit comprises:
- instructions for utilizing the respective first neutrosophic similarity scores for each of the first plurality of pixels to provide a set of parameters, one parameter being a distance from skin to the region of interest; and
instructions for detecting the region of interest in a second scan based on the distance from the skin to the region of interest to localize the region of interest for further processing.

Abstract
A medical imaging system includes an imaging device configured to scan a region of interest to acquire at least one of a first image including a first plurality of pixels and a second image including a second plurality of pixels, a processing unit configured to receive the first and second images, calculate respective first neutrosophic similarity scores for each of the first plurality of pixels of the first image, calculate respective second neutrosophic similarity scores for each of the second plurality of pixels of the second image, perform a template matching algorithm based on differences between the respective first and second neutrosophic similarity scores for each of the first and second plurality, respectively, to determine one or more registration parameters, and register the first and second images using the one or more registration parameters, and a display output configured to allow the registered first and second images to be displayed.
