Summary:A method and system for contouring a medical image in a contouring system is described. The method comprising the steps of: providing at least one medical image to be contoured by a user 101; determining that the user has initiated contouring of a structure on the medical image 102; the contouring system determining the structure that is being or will be contoured 103; in response to the determination of the structure the system displaying guidance for the contouring of the determined structure 104; contouring the determined structure in accordance with the displayed guidance 105. A method and system for reviewing and editing contours on a contoured medical image is also described (Fig. 2(b), 215). Guidance may be clinical guidelines or and atlas image and the determination of structure may be completed by machine learning based auto-contouring.
