Abstract
When adapting models of anatomical structures in a patient for diagnosis or therapeutic planning, an atlas () of predesigned anatomical structure models or image volumes can be accessed, and a segmentation of one or more such structures can be selected and overlaid on an a 3D image of corresponding structure(s) in a clinical image () of a patient. A user can click on an initially unapproved segmentationlandmark () on the patient image (), reposition the unapproved landmark, and approve the repositioned landmark. Remaining unapproved landmarks () are then repositioned as a function of the position of the approved landmark () using one or more interpolation techniques to adapt the model to the patient image on the fly.
