A method for segmenting organs on magnetic resonance (MR) images includes retrieving an MR image of a subject and generating a transformation matrix by segmenting bones on the MR image. An initial organ segmentation of the MR image is generated by registering a combined organ and bone atlas with the MR image using the transformation matrix. The MR image with initial organ segmentation may be shown on a display.

System and method for automatic segmentation of organs on MR images using a combined organ and bone atlas

A method for segmenting bones on magnetic resonance (MR) images includes retrieving an MR image and performing an enhancement process on the MR image to generate a bone enhanced MR image. The bone enhanced MR image is then registered to a computer tomography (CT) based bone atlas. An MR image with bone segmentation is generated by segmenting the bone enhanced MR image using the CT based bone atlas as a mask. The MR image with bone segmentation may be presented on a display.
