Abstract
The invention describes a method for automatically localizing organ segments in a three-dimensional image comprising the following steps: providing a three-dimensional image showing at least one organ and at least one tubular network comprising a plurality of tubular structures, the organ comprising organ segments; performing automatic separation of the organ from other parts of the image; performing automatic tracing of the tubular network to obtain a branch map; performing automatic analysis of the branch map to identify specific tubular structures; performing automatically assigning regions of the organ to the specific tubular structures to segment the organ into localized organ segments; and outputting the localized organ segments and the traced and analyzed tubular network as image data. The invention further describes a localization arrangement and a medical imaging system.
