Abstract

A lung model and a software tool were developed with the aim to help the radiologist in understanding the underlying nodule distribution modes in the lung, in spreading nodules on lung sections according to predefined distribution modes. For educational purpose lung elements can be easily highlighted using false colors. The fast execution times which allow the radiologist to test different nodule distributions and to choose, by comparison with CT, the likeliest one, makes it a helpful tool to determine the real diagnosis. Connected to a database containing final diagnoses, it should be a help for research in lung pathology.

摘要

开发了一种肺部模型和一个软件工具，旨在帮助放射科医生了解肺部潜在的结节分布模式，并根据预定义的分布模式在肺切片上散布结节。出于教育目的，可以使用伪彩色轻松突出显示肺部元素。快速的执行时间使放射科医生能够测试不同的结节分布，并通过与CT比较选择最有可能的分布，这使其成为确定实际诊断的有用工具。连接到包含最终诊断结果的数据库后，它应该有助于肺部病理学的研究。
