Abstract
Multiple algorithm lesion segmentation using an atlas is provided. In various embodiments, a plurality of medical images are read from an image repository. Each of the plurality of medical images has a source modality. Each of the plurality of medical images is registered to an anatomical atlas. An anatomical region depicted in each of the plurality of medical images is determined thereby. Based upon the source modality and the anatomical region depicted in each of the plurality of medical images, one of a plurality of segmentation algorithms is selected for each of the plurality of medical images. The selected segmentation algorithms are applied to each of the plurality of medical images. The results of the selected segmentation algorithms are displayed.
