Abstract
A method for generating or reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) images corresponding to a structure of interest () including: acquiring a plurality of image projections corresponding to a structure of interest (); applying a shape model () at a selected 3D seed point (); and adapting the shape model () to represent the structure of interest (), yielding an adapted shape model. A system for generation and reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) images. The system () includes: an imaging system () configured to provide projection data corresponding to a structure of interest (); and a controller () in operable communication with the imaging system (). The controller () is configured to: receive the projection data, (); apply a shape model () at a selected 3D seed point (); and adapt the shape model () to represent the structure of interest (), thereby yielding an adapted shape model.
