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 />
