Background<br />

• <strong>Liver</strong> volume is an important measure of functional<br />

capacity<br />

• Much prior work has been done in normal livers without<br />

metastases<br />

• It is routinely used for surgical planning for liver<br />

resections<br />

• Manual volumetry is time-consuming, tedious and<br />

generally not reproducible<br />

• Therefore, there has been a growing interest in the<br />

development of fast and accurate segmentation methods<br />
