摘要:
A method for estimating a diameter of an object of interest, includes extracting a sub-volume of voxels around a marker identifying a location of the object of interest, and determining a segmentation result identifying an edge of the object of interest by a reactive-diffusion method. The method further includes performing a boundary check on the segmentation result to determine whether the object of interest is solitary, estimating a diameter of the object of interest from the segmentation result upon determining the object of interest to be solitary, and extracting the object of interest by performing ellipsoid fit on the sub-volume and estimating a diameter of the object of interest upon determining the object of interest to be non-solitary.
