Method and systems for error correction for three-dimensional image segmentation

摘要

A method for error correction for segmented three dimensional image data. The method includes receiving segmented three dimensional image data, the segmented three dimensional image data being divided into a plurality of slices; correcting at least one contour of the segmented three dimensional image data on at least one slice according to a command from a user to form a corrected contour; and automatically interpolating a correction represented by the corrected contour to a plurality of slices of the segmented three dimensional image data.

1. A method for error correction for segmented three dimensional image data, comprising:
receiving segmented three dimensional image data, the segmented three dimensional image data comprising a plurality of parallel slices; correcting at least one contour of the segmented three dimensional image data on at least one slice according to a command from a user to form a corrected contour, wherein the correcting the at least one contour of the segmented three dimensional image data according to the command from the user comprises:
receiving an input contour correction from the user; andcorrecting the at least one contour from the input contour correction according to a two dimensional contour algorithm; automatically interpolating a correction represented by the corrected contour only to the plurality of parallel slices, wherein the automatically interpolating comprises interpolating between the corrected contour and an adjacent user defined contour by applying a geometric interpolation method to interpolate the shape of one contour line to the shape of the other contour line across at least one intervening slice; shrinking each geometrically interpolated contour line; and evolving each contour line separately to form a final contour line.
