Abstract
A general framework to enhance performance of automatic segmentation of a plurality of structures in medical imaging applications incorporates inter-structure spatial dependencies in to existing segmentation algorithms. Ranking the structures according to their dependencies allows a hierarchical approach to automatically segmenting multiple structures that improves each individual segmentation and provides automatic initializations.
