A method for automatically segmenting image data of an object includes selecting a seed, creating an initial surface around the seed, preprocessing the image data, running a deformable surface algorithm on the image data and post processing the image data. Selecting the seed includes at least one of selecting one seed point within the object, selecting two seed points within the object with one seed point being selected at an upper end of the object and the other seed point being selected at a lower end of the object if the object is a first organ, and selecting a curved segment within the object if the object is a second organ.

Method and system for automatically segmenting organs from three dimensional computed tomography images

A system for segmenting an organ in a plurality of images is described. The system includes an imaging system configured to generate a first set of slices showing images of a subject having the organ. The system also includes a controller configured to determine a second set of slices within the first set, where the second set of slices includes the organ and a remaining set of slices within the first set of slices excludes the organ. The controller is also configured to segment the organ from the second set of slices.
