Abstract
In this paper we present an extension of anisotropy analysis methods for 3D image volumes. Two approaches based on orientation-sensitive filtering and a 3D version of spatial gray-level difference histograms are compared. The performance of the method is demonstrated on synthetic image volumes and original 3D CT and MRI medical images. The orientation structure of left and right hemispheres of some brain images as well as left and right kidneys are compared.
