Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method for automatic detection and segmentation of a target anatomical structure in received three dimensional (3D) volumetric medical images using a database of a set of volumetric images with expertly delineated anatomical structures. A 3D anatomical structure detection and segmentation module is trained offline by learning anatomical structure appearance using the set of expertly delineated anatomical structures. A received volumetric image for the anatomical structure of interest is searched online using the offline learned 3D anatomical structure detection and segmentation module.
