Abstract

See full text

Mechanisms are provided for determining a measure of radiodensity of anatomical structures of interest and classifying medical imaging study data structures (studies) with regard to contrast phase. In some embodiments, this classification may be used to select/exclude slices for processing by other downstream computing systems. A subset of slices are selected from the study and, for each slice in the subset, a corresponding body part regression (BPR) score is determined. A linear regression on the BPR scores is performed and a representative slice is selected based on results of the linear regression. The representative slice is segmented and a statistical measure of a radiodensity metric for each segment in the representative slice is determined.
