Abstract

The present disclosure directs to a method for image processing. The method may include obtaining scanning data of a spine of a subject, determining one or more centrum parameters of each of a plurality of centrums of the spine based on the scanning data, and identifying at least one intervertebral disc based on the one or more centrum parameters. Each of the at least one intervertebral disc may be between a pair of neighboring centrums of the plurality of centrums. The method may include determining an intervertebral disc reconstruction protocol of each of the at least one intervertebral disc, determining a target intervertebral disc of the at least one intervertebral disc, and reconstructing one or more images of the target intervertebral disc based on an intervertebral disc reconstruction protocol of the target intervertebral disc. The intervertebral disc reconstruction protocols may relate to MPR.
