Abstract:
In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method is for providing lymph node information. The method includes receiving medical imaging data; receiving atlas data spatially relating lymph node stations to at least one non-lymphatic anatomical structure; determining a lymph node position in the medical imaging data; generating the lymph node information, the lymph node information being indicative of a lymph node station, to which the lymph node position is anatomically allocated, by applying an algorithm onto the medical imaging data, the atlas data and the lymph node position; and providing the lymph node information.
