Abstract
A method and system for processing medical image data are disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes providing measurement data of a to be reproduced body region of a patient; reconstructing, using a reconstruction algorithm, a first image volume representing the body region from the measurement data; identifying a subregion representing a partial volume of the first image volume, confining the subregion within the first image volume, and assigning a specific tissue structure, differing from a remaining volume of the first image volume, to the subregion; determining, based upon the specific tissue structure of the subregion, at least one reconstruction parameter varying in comparison to the first image volume; reconstructing, from the measurement data linked with the subregion and based upon the at least one reconstruction parameter, a second image volume; and contouring, within at least the second image volume, structure boundaries between different anatomical structures of the patient.
