Abstract
Systems, methods and computer program products to annotate axial-view spine images with the desired characteristics of not requiring additional views of the spine or cross-referencing features are provided. In one aspect, the disclosed method does not require external training from a manually-labeled data set while being applicable to different imaging modalities and acquisition protocols. In one aspect, the disclosed method achieves near real-time results using integral kernels when implemented on a Graphics Processing Unit.
