STRUCTURE SEGMENTATION VIA MAR-CUT

摘要

A method for segmenting image data includes creating a plurality of marching regions within the medical image data (S21). Region-wise segmentation is performed on the plurality of marching regions (S22 and/or S23). Region-wise segmentation may include a normalized cut performed on a graph wherein each marching region represents a node (S22). Region-wise segmentation may also include or may alternatively include a min cut performed on a graph wherein each marching region represents a node (S23). Voxel-wise segmentation is performed on a subset of the plurality of marching regions (S24).
