Abstract
In a method and a device for the segmentation of a lesion, a quantity of candidate regions for the lesion is determined proceeding from a starting region by means of a candidate unit. The candidate regions are arranged substantially concentrically to the starting region. A candidate region closest to the lesion is selected automatically by means of a selection unit or manually by means of a correction unit from the quantity of candidate regions. The selected candidate region is a reliable and robust basis for a classification of the lesion.
