    Abstract: A device for segmenting an image of a subject (36), includes a data interface for receiving an image of the subject (36), which image depicts a structure of said subject (36). A translation unit translates a user-initiated motion of an image positioner into a first contour (38) surrounding said structure. A motion parameter registering unit registers a motion parameter of said user-initiated motion to said first contour (38). The motion parameter includes a speed and/or an acceleration of an image positioner. An image control point unit distributes a plurality of image control points (40) on the first contour with a density decreasing with the motion parameter. A segmentation unit segments the image by determining a second contour (44) within the first contour based on the plurality of image control points (40). The segmentation unit is configured to use one or more segmentation functions.

    Abstract: A system and a computer-implemented method are provided far segmenting an object in a medical image using a graphical segmentation interface. The graphical segmentation interface may comprise a set of segmentation tools tier enabling a user to obtain a first segmentation of the object in the image. This first segmentation may be represented by segmentation data. Interaction data may be obtained which is indicative of a set of user interactions of the user with the graphical segmentation interface by which the first segmentation of the object was obtained. The system may comprise a processor configured for analyzing the segmentation data and the interaction data to determine an optimized set of user interactions which, when carried out by the user, obtains a second segmentation similar to the first segmentation, yet in a quicker and more convenient manner. A video may be generated for training the user by indicating the optimized set of user interactions to the user.
