Abstract
A computer-implemented method of segmenting a reconstructed volume of a region of patient anatomy includes: determining an anatomical region associated with the reconstructed volume; detecting one or more metal objects disposed in an initial 3D metal object mask associated with the reconstructed volume; for each of the one or more metal objects disposed in the initial 3D metal object mask, determining a volume associated with the metal object; determining a value for at least one segmentation parameter based on the anatomical region and on the volume associated with the one or more metal objects; and generating a final 3D metal object mask associated with the reconstructed digital volume using the value for the segmentation parameter.
