ABSTRACT:
A method for segmenting a digitized image includes providing a digitized volumetric image comprising a plurality of intensities corresponding to a domain of points in an N-dimensional space, identifying a target structure in said image, forming a window about said target structure whose size is a function of the target scale, and performing a joint space-intensity-likelihood ratio test at each point within said window to determine whether each said point is within said target structure.
