Abstract
A system comprises a display system and a control system communicatively coupled to the display system. The control system is configured to receive anatomic image data for an anatomic tree structure and generate an initial segmentation of the anatomic image data. The initial segmentation includes a trunk structure and a branched structure unconnected to the trunk structure. The control system is also configured to determine whether to connect the branched structure to the trunk structure based on an assessment of a shape of the branched structure and an assessment of a relationship between the trunk structure and the branched structure.
