Systems and methods for performing segmentation and visualization of images

摘要

A method for visualizing an object of interest includes obtaining an image of an object of interest, automatically separating the image into tissue clusters, automatically selecting foreground clusters from the tissue clusters, automatically generating a contour based on the selected foreground clusters, and displaying an image of the object of interest including the foreground clusters and the contour. A system and non-transitory computer readable medium are also described herein.

1. A method for visualizing an object of interest, said method comprising:
obtaining an image of an object of interest; automatically separating the image into tissue clusters; automatically selecting foreground clusters from the tissue clusters, wherein each of the foreground clusters represents a first group of voxels that defines an object or region for segmentation, wherein the foreground clusters are represented by a first shade or color; identifying background clusters based on the selected foreground clusters, wherein each of the background clusters represents a second group of voxels separated from the foreground clusters, wherein the background clusters are represented by a second shade or color that differs from the first shade or color; generating a set of contours based on the selected foreground clusters and the identified background clusters; automatically selecting a contour from the set of contours; automatically generating the contour based on the selected foreground clusters and the identified background clusters; and displaying an image of the object of interest including the foreground clusters, the background clusters, and the contour.
