    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented methods of determining distributions of corrections for correcting the segmentation of medical image data, determining corrections for correcting the segmentation of medical image data, training a learning algorithm for determining a segmentation of a digital medical image, and determining a relation between an image representation of the anatomical body part in an individual medical image and a label to be associated with the image representation of the anatomical body part in the individual medical image using the trained machine learning algorithm. The methods encompass reading a plurality of corrections to image segmentations, wherein the corrections themselves may have been manually generated, transforming these corrections into a reference system which is not patient-specific such as an atlas reference system, conducting a statistical analysis of the correction, and applying the re-transformed result of the statistical analysis to patient images. The result of the statistical analysis may also be used to appropriately train a machine learning algorithm for automatic segmentation of patient images. The application of such a trained machine learning algorithm is also part of this disclosure.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented of adapting a biomechanical model of an anatomical body part of a patient to a current status of the patient. The method encompasses determination of a currently executed step of a workflow such as a medical intervention, the result of the determination serving as a basis for adapting and/or updating a biomechanical model of an anatomical body part to the corresponding current status of the patient. The determination of the current workflow step may also be used as basis for controlling an imaging device for tracking entities around the patient or for imaging the anatomical body part or acquiring further data or for urging the user to perform a specific action such as acquisition of information using a tracked instrument such as a pointer. The biomechanical model has been generated from atlas data. The data sets which are generated according to the current workflow step may additionally or alternatively serve as a basis for determining the current workflow step and/or adapting the further workflow.

    Abstract: A matching transformation is determined for matching a patient image set of images of an anatomical body structure of a patient with an atlas image set of images of a general anatomical structure including anatomical atlas elements. Atlas spatial information containing spatial information on the general anatomical structure, and element representation information are obtained. The element representation information describes representation data sets which contain information on representations of the plurality of atlas elements in the atlas images to be determined are obtained, and also describes a determination rule for determining respective representation data sets for respective atlas elements in accordance with different respective parameter sets. Patient data is acquired by acquiring the patient image set and the parameter sets which are respectively associated with the images of the patient image set. The matching transformation is determined by matching images associated with the same parameter set to each other.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of segmenting a medical patient image using an atlas and relating the segmentation result to a model of possible geometric changes to the segmentation result (e.g. for correcting the position of the segmentation of anatomical structures) which consider for example anatomical limitations. The thus-related segmentation result may be used as a basis for changing and/or correcting the position, shape and/or orientation of at least parts of the segmentation result, e.g. by user interaction. The invention also relates to an atlas data set comprising information such as values of the variables of the model of possible geometric changes in relation to the positions of anatomical structures in the atlas.
