More Information
Summary:Disclosed herein is a framework for facilitating image processing. In accordance with one aspect, the framework receives first image data acquired by a first modality and one or more articulated models. The one or more articulated models may include at least one section image acquired by the first modality and aligned with a local image acquired by a second modality. The framework may align an anatomical region of the first image data with the section image and non-rigidly register a first region of interest extracted from the section image with a second region of interest extracted from the aligned anatomical region. To generate a segmentation mask of the anatomical region, the registered first region of interest may be inversely mapped to a subject space of the first image data.
