Patent number: 12211147Abstract: The invention relates to a system and computer-implemented method for enabling correction of a segmentation of an anatomical structure in 3D image data. The segmentation may be provided by a mesh which is applied to the 3D image data to segment the anatomical structure. The correction may for example involve a user directly or indirectly selecting a mesh part, such as a mesh point, that needs to be corrected. The behaviour of the correction, e.g., in terms of direction, radius/neighbourhood or strength, may then be dependent on the mesh normal direction, and in some embodiments, on a difference between the mesh normal direction and the orientation of the viewing plane.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Alexandra Groth, Frank Michael Weber, Jochen Peters, Rolf Jürgen Weese
