Abstract
Virtual Colonoscopy is an innovative method to discover colon neoplasias created in order to alleviate patients aches generated by the standard colonoscopy. For the same reason, we have realized an automatic process finalized to find polyps into the lumen through the extraction of colon centerline and the calculation of polyps distance from anus. This paper contains the description of what is implemented. In particular, the developed algorithms build up following steps: colon lumen segmentation starting from a dataset of axial CT slices, 3D rendering, centerline extraction and evaluation of polyps distance from anus. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
