Abstract:
1. A system for processing image data relative to an imaged anatomical region comprising: a. a detection and extraction process that detects and extracts one or more two-dimensional (2D) regions of interest (ROIs) containing an object of interest from a three-dimensional (3D) medical image of the anatomical region; b. a first 2D projection image of the anatomical region obtained from a medical image source; c. a blending process that generates a second 2D projection image of the anatomical region by blending the one or more 2D ROIs onto the first 2D projection image to generate the second 2D projection image of the anatomical region; and d. at least one of a display and a data storage arrangement receiving an output of the second 2D projection image.
