Abstract
Techniques are described for processing measurement information to select a respective label for multiple voxels or pixels of a medical image dataset. Reference information is described comprising a respective reference dataset for each one of the possible labels, and each label is associated with a material parameter. A respective label for the respective voxel or pixel is selected by using a discrete optimization algorithm to optimize a cost function comprising a first partial cost function and a second partial cost function, and the incorporation of the second partial cost function into the cost function introduces a coupling between the labels at different voxels or pixels.
