Abstract
Methods and systems for detecting a dissection in surface of an elongated structure in a three dimensional medical image. One system includes an electronic processor configured to receive the three dimensional medical image and determine a periphery of the elongated structure included in the three dimensional medical image. The electronic processor is also configured to generate a non-contrast image representing the periphery of the elongated structure and superimpose a contrast image associated with the three dimensional image on top of the non-contrast image to generate a superimposed image. The electronic processor is also configured to detect at least one dissection in the elongated structure using the superimposed image and output a medical report identifying the at least one dissection detected in the elongated structure.
