Abstract:
Methods and systems for volumetric segmentation of structures in planar medical images. One example method includes displaying a first planar medical image. The method further includes receiving a user input indicating a line segment in the first planar medical image. The method also includes determining an inclusion region using the line segment. The inclusion region consists of a portion of the structure. The method further includes determining a containment region using the line segment. The containment region includes the structure. The method also includes determining a background region using the line segment. The background region excludes the structure. The method further includes determining a three dimensional (3D) contour of the structure using the inclusion region, the containment region, and the background region. The method also includes determining a long axis of the structure using the 3D contour. The method further includes outputting a dimension of the long axis.

Claim (Index 21):
The system of  claim 10 , wherein the line segment is a first line segment, wherein the electronic processor is further configured to\n display, on the display, a second planar medical image from the plurality of planar medical images, wherein a first plane of the first planar medical image is different from a second plane of the second planar medical image, receive, with the user interface, a second user input indicating a second line segment in the second planar medical image, determine the inclusion region of the 3D volume using the first line segment and the second line segment, determine the containment region of the 3D volume using the first line segment and the second line segment, and determine the background region of 3D volume using the first line segment and the second line segment.
