We describe a fully automated approach to vertebrae segmentation from CT images which operates on superpixels. The method is based on a conditional random field model incorporating constraints learned from labelled superpixel features. The method is shown to provide consistently accurate segmentations of different vertebrae from a variety of subjects.
