Interactive Multi-Organ Segmentation based on Multiple Template Deformation

Abstract : We present a new method for the segmentation of multiple organs (2D or 3D) which enables user inputs for smart contour editing. By extending the work of [1] with user-provided hard constraints that can be optimized globally or locally, we propose an efficient and user-friendly solution that ensures consistent feedback to the user interactions. We demonstrate the potential of our approach through a user study with 10 medical imaging experts, aiming at the correction of 4 organ segmentations in 10 CT volumes.We provide quantitative and qualitative analysis of the users' feedback.
