Image volume must be segmented into its anatomical constituents.
Automatic segmentation is not possible.
Interactive, semiautomatic segmentation is time consuming (one man-year to segment 300 anatomical objects).
Algoritms ( histogramming, thresholding, edge enhancements, non-rational uniform B-spline).
Map Seperation methon in AVS (demo) (mussle easy, bone difficult).
Map separation implementation in Java (demo).
Bone tissue cannot be separated from anatomical images.
