Abstract
The present disclosure relates to the use of probabilistic models to classify elements of a medical image into different tissue types. The models may be based upon geometric abstractions of the different tissue types being classified. In addition, the present disclosure teaches the derivation and modification of models for tissue classification based upon the neighboring region of the voxels undergoing classification.
