MULTI-BONE SEGMENTATION FOR 3D COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

摘要

A method for multiple bone segmentation for three-dimensional computed tomography comprises the acts: - receiving (20) computed tomography (CT) data representing first and second bones of a patient; - separately segmenting (22) the first and second bones; - refining (30) the segmenting of the first bone as a function of a first confidence map of the segmenting; - refining (30) the segmenting of the second bone as a function of a second confidence map of the segmenting; - adjusting (34) results of the segmenting of the first and second bones jointly as a function the first and second confidence maps; and - outputting (30) an image showing the first and second bones with the adjusted results of the segmenting.
