A system and method for image segmentation are provided. A three-dimensional image data set representative of a region including at least one airway may be acquired. The data set may include a plurality of voxels. A first-level seed within the region may be identified. A first-level airway within the region may be identified based on the first-level seed. A second-level airway may be identified within the region based on the first-level airway. The first-level airway and the second-level airway may be fused to form an airway tree.
