In an example, a method includes selecting a user-selected seed voxel from a medical image. The user-selected seed voxel is shifted to an adjusted seed voxel in an evaluation region based on an evaluation. The evaluation region includes the user-selected seed voxel and at least one other voxel within a predetermined spatial distance. A given region in the image volume is filled with voxels to provide a segmented volume for the given region based on the adjusted seed voxel and segmentation filter parameters. A segmentation region is evaluated to ascertain a quality of the fill. Seed candidates may be determined from a set of the filled voxels adjacent a boundary of the for another region given region in response to determining that the quality of the fill indicates a valid segmentation for the anatomic vessel structure in the given region. Segmented vessel image data is stored.
