Abstract
The invention provides a method for determining a confidence value for an image segmentation. The method includes obtaining an image, wherein the image comprises a view of an anatomical structure and a model of the anatomical structure is obtained, wherein the model comprises a plurality of nodes. The image is processed to generate a plurality of image segmentation outputs, wherein each image segmentation output comprises a set of values for the view, wherein each value of the set of values is associated with a node of the plurality of nodes of the model. For each node of the model, a confidence value is determined based on the plurality of values corresponding to the node. A confidence map of the anatomical structure is generated based on the confidence value of each node.
