Abstract
A method and apparatus for data driven editing of rib centerlines is disclosed. A user input location indicating an inaccuracy in a rib centerline extracted from a medical image volume is received. A local correction of the rib centerline is performed. A portion of the rib surrounding a current centerline point to be corrected is segmented based on image data of the medical image volume. A corrected centerline point for the current centerline point is generated based on the segmented portion of the rib. The centerline correction is then extended to subsequent points along the rib centerline.
