Abstract

A fast fully automatic method of segmenting the prostate from 3D MR scans is presented, incorporating dynamic multi-atlas label fusion. The diffeomorphic demons method is used for non-rigid registration and a comparison of alternate metrics for atlas selection is presented. A comparison of results from an average shape atlas and the multi-atlas approach is provided. Using the same clinical dataset and manual contours from 50 clinical scans as Klein et al. (2008) a median Dice similarity coefficient of 0.86 was achieved with an average surface error of 2.00mm using the multi-atlas segmentation method. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
