Patent abstract
This invention provides a method for detecting abnormalities in medical images, particularly for the detection of polyps in the colon from computed tomography imagery. Specifically a set of colon masks is input to a detector where summations over spherical volumes with two different radii are computed. Abnormalities are detected based on the ratio of spherical summation values computed for every pixel location.
