ABSTRACT:
A system and method of analysis for a medical image are described. A medical image is received and analyzed, and an initial border of a region within the medical image is determined based on the analysis of the medical image. A user input is received indicating one or more control points, where each of the one or more control points is located inside or outside of the initial border. A modified border of the region is determined based on the analysis and the user input, the modified border passing through the one or more control points.
