Abstract
A method of modeling a structure comprises the steps of initializing a parametric component of a hybrid model from a volumetric image, the volumetric image comprising image planes, creating starting points for two dimensional segmentations at intersections between the parametric component and the image planes, segmenting a boundary of the structure by applying active contours, sampling the active contours to create a dataset and parametrically and locally fitting the hybrid model to the dataset to represent the structure.
