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 22):
The system of  claim 10 , wherein the 3D contour of the structure is a first 3D contour of the structure, wherein the electronic processor is further configured to\n re-display, on the display, the first planar medical image with a visual indicator of the first 3D contour of the structure, receive, with the user interface, a second user input indicating an edit to the first 3D contour of the structure, determine a second inclusion region of the 3D volume using the line segment and the edit to the first 3D contour of the structure, determine a second containment region of the 3D volume using the line segment and the edit to the first 3D contour of the structure, classify the voxels located within the second containment region as belonging to either the foreground class or the background class using the second inclusion region, the second containment region, and the background region, and determine a second 3D contour of the structure based on a second border in the 3D volume between the voxels belonging to the foreground class and the voxels belonging to the background class.
