Abstract

See full text

An imaging data processing apparatus comprises a registration unit configured to obtain a hierarchical registration between a reference data set and volumetric medical imaging data, the reference data set comprising a plurality of anatomical structures, wherein the hierarchical registration comprises an initial registration and at least one further registration, and the at least one further registration is obtained by the registration unit by modifying the initial registration, and a segmentation unit for segmenting at least part of the volumetric medical imaging data in dependence on the hierarchical registration. The initial registration comprises a registration between at least part of the reference data set and at least part of the volumetric medical imaging data, the at least part of the reference data set comprising a first anatomical structure or first group of anatomical structures. The at least one further registration comprises a registration between a subset of the reference data set and at least part of the volumetric medical imaging data, the subset of the reference data set comprising a second, different anatomical structure or second, different group of anatomical structures.
