Abstract
A computerized method of providing automatic anatomy recognition (AAR) includes gathering image data from patient image sets, formulating precise definitions of each body region and organ and delineating them following the definitions, building hierarchical fuzzy anatomy models of organs for each body region, recognizing and locating organs in given images by employing the hierarchical models, and delineating the organs following the hierarchy. The method may be applied, for example, to body regions including the thorax, abdomen and neck regions to identify organs.
