SYSTEM AND METHOD TO IMPROVE MODEL-BASED ORGAN SEGMENTATION WITH IMAGE POST-PROCESSING

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus to improve model-based organ segmentation with image post-processing using one or more processors. The method includes: receiving three-dimensional (3D) voxel-by-voxel segmentation results as the output of a segmentation model based on 3D computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) images; analyzing the segmentation results on a 3D basis; processing the results to identify regions with anatomically incorrect segmentations; fixing the incorrect segmentations; analyzing the remaining segmentation results on a slice-by-slice basis; processing the results to identify slices with anatomically incorrect segmentations; fixing the incorrect segmentations to obtain the final results.
