Patent Document ID: 9122950
Application ID: 13782154

Base Claim:
1. An enhanced auto-segmentation method comprising: performing, with a processor, atlas-based auto-segmentation on a plurality of points in a subject image using atlas images to generate first data representative of at least one structure in the subject image, wherein performing the atlas-based auto-segmentation includes registering the subject image with the atlas images to map points of the subject image to points of the atlas images; applying, with the processor, a plurality of points in the subject image to a trained classifier to generate second data representative of the at least one structure in the subject image; combining, with the processor, the first data with the second data to generate third data representative of the at least one structure in the subject image; and determining, based on the third data, structure classifications associated with the subject image.

Claim 2:
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: selecting a subset of the points in the subject image; and wherein applying the plurality of points in the subject image to the trained classifier comprises limiting the points of the subject image, that are applied to the trained classifier, to the selected subset.
