Abstract
The invention provides for a medical apparatus () comprising a memory () for storing machine executable instructions () and a processor () for controlling the medical apparatus. Execution of the machine executable instructions causes the processor to: receive () a medical image () descriptive of a three-dimensional anatomy of a subject (); and provide () an image segmentation () by segmenting the medical image into multiple tissue regions () using a model-based segmentation. The model-based segmentation assigns a tissue type to each of the multiple regions. The model-based segmentation has a surface mesh (). The segmentation is corrected by using the tissue type assigned to each of the multiple regions to correct for partial volume effects at boundaries formed by the surface mesh between at least some of the multiple tissue regions.
