结合自动处理和交互式技术被证明是一种有效的战略分割复杂的三维（3D）医学图像。我们描述了一个通用的3D图像分割策略，利用形态分水岭分析和运营商定义的拓扑线索。分水岭分析通过将图像解释为地形表面来将灰度图像分割成不同的区域。使用现成的交互式技术，人类操作员可以很容易地定义指定感兴趣区域之间的空间关系的线索。以这种方式定义的线索大大有助于随后的分水岭分析。使用3D心脏图像的结果表明，该方法导致快速鲁棒的图像分割。
Combining automatic processing with interactive techniques is proving to be an effective strategy for segmenting complex three-dimensional (3D) medical images. We describe a general 3D image segmentation strategy that draws upon morphological watershed analysis and operator-defined topological cues. Watershed analysis segments a gray scale image into different regions by interpreting the image as a topographic surface. Using readily available interactive techniques, a human operator can easily define cues that specify spatial relationships between regions of interest. Cues defined in such a manner greatly assist subsequent watershed analysis. Results using 3D cardiac images show that this method leads to rapid robust image segmentation.
