    Abstract: A method for segmenting a volume dataset is provided. During initialization a level set field within a volume dataset is initialized and an initial set of active voxels is determined in dependence upon the initialized level set field. In an iteration process the level set field for the set of active voxels is updated followed by updating of the set of active voxels. The iteration is continued until the number of active voxels is less than a predetermined threshold. Level set segmentation data are then determined in dependence upon the level set field and provided for, for example, graphical display or storage.

    Abstract: A radiation therapy system includes a diagnostic image scanner (12) which acquires a multidimensional dataset of a subject that is reconstructed into at least one image representation of an object of interest. An image processing apparatus (72), of radiation therapy system, includes a segmentation unit (74) which identifies a surface contour of the object of interest, or other critical structures. A masking unit (82) determines a non-constant margin, based on the identified surface contour and appends the determined non-constant margin to the identified surface contour. The non-constant margin is based on at least one of anisotropic motion, surface morphology, positional uncertainty, proximity to other organs, and probability of dose distribution. A planning processor (70) generates a radiation therapy plan which limits the delivery of therapeutic radiation to anatomy associated with the surface contour and appended non-constant margin. A radiation delivery system (40) delivers therapeutic radiation according to the generated plan.

    Abstract: A radiographic image processing apparatus in this invention decreases a spatial resolution twice in total by a low-frequency image generating device and a low-frequency characteristic generating device. Thereby an influence such as noise and thus calculation amounts are decreased. Moreover, excessive characteristic amounts (patterns) not removed among characteristic amounts extracted through the low-frequency image generating device and a characteristic extracting device can be decreased by decrease of the spatial resolution by the low-frequency characteristic generating device. Consequently, influence such as noise and calculation amounts can be decreased for the low-frequency characteristics generated by the low-frequency characteristic generating device and a radiation area extracted by an area extracting device on the latter stage. As a result, influences such as noise can be decreased for achieving characteristic extraction and area extraction with high accuracy, and thus calculation amounts can be decreased.

The setting section sets an edge detection tool on the outline detected by the outline detection section. The measurement section measures, by the edge detection tool set by the setting section, graphic information concerning the graphic.
