A plurality bone structures are automatically segmented in the target joint region of the 3D medical image and a plurality of landmarks associated with a joint replacement surgery are automatically detected in the target joint region of the 3D medical image. The boundaries of segmented bone structures can then be interactively refined based on user inputs.
