Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for automatically identifying and locating body parts in medical imaging. To automatically identify body parts of in an image, an identification and location algorithm is used. This establishes a reference frame in relation to the image. Then, a location of the head in relation to the frame is established. After upper and lower boundaries of the head are determined, a neck section of the image is identified. The neck section is identified using the lower boundary of the head section. The location of the neck section is then found. A thorax cage section is found and located positively below the neck section. The abdomen and pelvis are identified together and ultimately separately located and identified.
