Abstract
Disclosed is a method and system for propagating information about an image to segment a target structure. An input to denote a region of interest of the image containing the target structure is received. A first seed is set outside of the target structure and a second seed is set inside the target structure. A first partial differential equation (PDE) associated with the first seed is solved and a second PDE associated with the second seed is solved to segment the image.
