A medical imaging device (10) allowing easy and robust representation of anatomic structures within a region of interest in a patient body is presented. The imaging device (10) comprises an image acquisition device (12), an image segmentation device (22), a visualization device (24) and a separate selection button (34). In an image of the region of interest, anatomic structures may be automatically identified using image segmentation techniques. Therein, not only one but a plurality of candidate images comprising differently identified anatomic structures is provided. The plurality of candidate images may be visualized on a display (26) sequentially or in an overlying manner. Using the easy accessible and easy to handle separate selection button (34), a physician may cycle through the plurality of candidate images and manually select one candidate image only by activating the selection button (34) for further exploitation. Thereby, automated segmentation techniques may be combined with the physician's experience thereby significantly increasing the robustness of a selected representation of anatomic structures while reducing human interaction to a minimum. |
