 Medical Image Segmentation Tool Set

The Medical Image Segmentation Tool Set (iSEG) is a fully integrated segmentation (including pre- and postprocessing) toolbox for the efficient, fast, and flexible generation of anatomical models from various types of imaging data. A wide selection of segmentation methods, including competitive region growing approaches, fuzzy connectedness analysis, level-set methods, topologically flexible interpolation, and dedicated vasculature segmentation, ensures the efficient and flexible generation of surface models.

Co-visualization of image data and segmented regions.

 

iSEG features a unique set of novel flexibly combinable (semi-) automatic and interactive segmentation algorithms, e.g., to optimize the generation of models with many different tissues. Anatomical reference atlases are also available.

Capable of handling a variety of image data (CT, MRI) and large-scale models.

iSEG offers unique possibilities for medical diagnosis/ treatment and basic research applications, e.g., for personalized modeling and treatment planning, or to investigate physical and physiological processes in realistic anatomical environments.
