Abstract
A method, a system and a computer readable medium for automatic segmentation of a 3D medical image, the 3D medical image comprising an object to be segmented, the method characterized by comprising: carrying out, by using a machine learning model, in at least two of a first, a second and a third orthogonal orientation, 2D segmentations for the object in slices of the 3D medical image to derive 2D segmentation data; determining a location of a bounding box (10) within the 3D medical image based on the 2D segmentation data, the bounding box (10) having predetermined dimensions; and carrying out a 3D segmentation for the object in the part of the 3D medical image corresponding to the bounding box (10).
