Abstract
This invention provides a system, method and computer-readable medium for detecting and localizing organs and other regions of interest in medical image data provided by a medical imaging procedure using gradient template information with respect to an example of the imaged organ and cross-correlation techniques to generate object detection information. In an embodiment, the detection and localization process/processor receives a plurality of gradient templates and employers a template with the closest matching cross-correlation to the gradient of the organ in the medical image.
