Abstract
A method for processing a medical image of a subject is provided. The method includes presenting on a display a slice through the medical image of the subject. The medical image includes voxels. The method further includes performing automatic edge detection in the slice of the medical image to obtain a segmented slice. The automatic edge detection is based on a user selected voxel in the slice of the medical image. The automatic edge detection is based on a user controllable edge detection brush. Not all of the voxels selected by the edge detection brush are designated as an edge.
