Abstract
A machine learning guided image segmentation process is performed by an electronic processor (). Image segmentation () is performed to generate an initial segmented representation () of an anatomical structure in the medical image. Parameters of a geometric shape are fitted () to the anatomical structure in the medical image to produce initial fitted shape parameters (). A classification is assigned for the anatomical structure in the medical image using at least one classifier () operating on the initial fitted shape parameters and the initial segmented representation of the anatomical structure. A final segmented representation () of the anatomical structure in the medical image is generated by operations including repeating () the image segmentation using the classification as prior knowledge. In illustrative embodiments, the anatomical structure is a heart and the geometric shape is an ellipsoid.
