IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SEGMENTING A REGION OF INTEREST

摘要

An image processing apparatus (16) is disclosed for segmenting a region of interest (15) in a multi-dimensional image data of an object (12). The image processing apparatus comprises an interface for receiving an image data of the object including the region of interest to be segmented. A selection unit selects a deformable model 30 of an anatomical structure corresponding to the object in the image data. A processing unit segments the region of interest by adapting the deformable model on the basis of the image data (xt) and additional information of the object.
