LESION LINKING USING ADAPTIVE SEARCH AND A SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING THE SAME

Abstract: disclosed herein is a system for linking images of a lesion taken over different periods of time comprising an imaging device that is operative to image one or more lesions present in a living being. the imaging device takes a first image at a first point in time tand a second image at a second point in time t. a microprocessor is operative to receive the first image and the second image and to perform an adaptive search on the respective images. the adaptive search comprises selecting a first voxel in a first lesion in the first image and radially searching for one or more second lesions in the second image that share one or more overlapping first voxels with the first lesion in the first image. a probability is assigned if there is an overlap between the first lesion and one or more second lesions. each voxel in the first lesion based on the probability.
