Abstract
Disclosed herein is a framework for facilitating adaptive anatomical region prediction. In accordance with one aspect, a set of exemplar images including annotated first landmarks is received. User definitions of first anatomical regions in the exemplar images are obtained. The framework may detect second landmarks in a subject image. It may further compute anatomical similarity scores between the subject image and the exemplar images based on the first and second landmarks, and predict a second anatomical region in the subject image by adaptively combining the first anatomical regions based on the anatomical similarity scores.
