Abstract:
1. A method comprising: a) using a processor, initializing a level set field within a multi-dimensional dataset comprising a plurality of voxels, the multi-dimensional dataset being indicative of an object; b) using the processor, determining an initial set of active voxels in dependence upon the initialized level set field; c) using the processor, iteratively repeating d) and e), below, until a quantitative stopping criterion is met, wherein each iteration of d) and e) is associated with a discrete time period; d) using the processor, updating the level set field for the set of active voxels; e) using the processor, updating the set of active voxels by: f) using the processor, determining level set segmentation data in dependence upon the updated level set field, the level set segmentation data being indicative of a feature of the object; and g) using the processor, providing the level set segmentation data.
