METHOD FOR SEGMENTATION OF LESIONS

摘要

A method of segmenting a lesion ( 910 ) from normal anatomy in a 3-dimensional image comprising the steps of: receiving an initial set of voxels ( 520 ) that are contained within the lesion to be segmented; growing a region which includes the lesion from the initial set of voxels; identifying a second set of voxels ( 530 ) on a surface of the normal anatomy; determining a surface containing the second set of voxels which demarks a boundary ( 540 ) between the lesion and the normal anatomy; and classifying voxels which are part of the lesion.
