3.2.2 Evaluation of atlas set<br />

In the multi-atlas based segmentation method, the errors in the labeling of at-<br />

lases may be propagated to the segmentation results. It is therefore necessary to<br />

evaluate the quality of atlas produced by the proposed method. Due to the lack<br />

of <strong>de</strong>lineation of anatomical structures by experts, it is impossible to assess the<br />

accuracy of segmentation of these atlases quantitatively against the manual seg-<br />

mentation as ground truth. Measurements of segmentation’s overlap with ground
