Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for generating contours of anatomy based on user click points includes a computer displaying an image comprising an anatomical structure and receiving a first user selection of a first click point at a first position on an outward facing edge of the anatomical structure. The computer applies a contour inference algorithm to generate an inferred contour around the outward facing edge based on the first position. Following generation of the inferred contour, the computer receives a second user selection of a second click point at a second position on the image. Then, the computer creates a visual indicator on a segment of the inferred contour between the first position and the second position as indicative of the user's confirmation of accuracy of the segment.
