Abstract
A method for obtaining a segmented region corresponding to an anatomical organ in a volume image generates a smoothed image from the volume image and forms a core segmentation of the volume image according to the smoothed image. The size of the core segmentation of the volume image is increased to form the segmented region for the anatomical organ according to data obtained from the core segmentation. Data corresponding to the segmented region is stored in a memory.
