Application of shape analysis on renal tumors in 3D

Abstract

There are different kinds of tumors in childhood: nephroblastoma, clear cell sarcoma, neuroblastoma etc. For diagnosis MRI (Magnetic resonance images) are used. Our research is the first mathematical approach on MRI (Magnetic resonance images) of renal tumors. We are using transversal, frontal and sagittal images and compare them in their potential for differentiation different kind of tumors. The procedure of getting three dimensional landmarks by using the edges of the platonic body (C60) as well as a test for the mean shape with the same diagnosis to all others are shown.
