Patent ID: 7894653

Claim:
A method of visually depicting an organ for processing two dimensional and three dimensional medical images or medical image data sets, comprising: (a) choosing a predefined set features for analysis, the predefined set of features having distinguishing weak learners for an algorithm, wherein the predefined set of features and the weak learners chosen distinguish features of the organ desired to be represented; (b) developing a strong classifier for the algorithm for the organ desired to be represented based upon the weak learners for the organ; (c) one of conducing a body scan to produce a body scan data set and obtaining a body scan data set of information for a patient; (d) applying the strong classifier and the algorithm to the body scan data set to develop a result of a representation of the organ; wherein the step of applying the strong classifier and the algorithm to the body scan data set to develop a representation of the organ is conducted on at least one point, wherein each point is defined as an intersection of three orthogonal planes in the three dimensional data set developed from the body scan data set; and (e) outputting the result of the step of applying of the strong classifier and the algorithm to the body scan data set to represent the organ.
