Abstract

Describes a graphical user interface system for constructing automatic image-segmentation processes for 3D medical-imaging applications. The system provides a user-friendly environment for prototyping, testing, and executing complex image-analysis processes and can interact with a graphics-based 3D medical image-analysis package. The interface links to a library of 1D, 2D, and 3D image-processing functions and can easily link to other functions created by the user. Demonstrations of the system are given for 3D left-ventricular chamber extraction and 3D upper-airway analysis
