A system for image segmentation is provided. The system may obtain a target image including an ROI, and segment a preliminary region representative of the ROI from the target image using a first ROI segmentation model corresponding to a first image resolution. The system may segment a target region representative of the ROI from the preliminary region using a second ROI segmentation model corresponding to a second image resolution. At least one model of the first and second ROI segmentation models may at least include a first convolutional layer and a second convolutional layer downstream to the first convolutional layer. A count of input channels of the first convolutional layer may be greater than a count of output channels of the first convolutional layer, and a count of input channels of the second convolutional layer may be smaller than a count of output channels of the second convolutional layer.

Systems and methods for image segmentation

A method for generating attenuation map is disclosed. The method includes acquiring an anatomic image and PET data indicative of a subject, wherein the anatomic image comprises a plurality of voxels. The method also includes fetching a reference image to register the anatomic image, the reference image includes voxel segmentation information. The method further includes segmenting the anatomic image into a plurality of regions based on the voxel segmentation information. The method further includes generating a first attenuation map corresponding to the anatomic image by assigning attenuation coefficients to the plurality of regions. The method further includes calculating a registration accuracy between the anatomic image and the reference image. The method further includes determining a probability distribution of attenuation coefficient. The method further includes updating the first attenuation map iteratively based on the probability distribution of attenuation coefficient and the PET data to obtain a final attenuation map.
