of known imaging devices including medical based imaging device such as a magnetic resonance image a computed tomography image an optical coherence tomography image or an ultrasound originating image it is to be appreciated that imaging for use in embodiments of the present disclosure can be achieved utilizing traditional scanners or any other image acquisition technique as would be appreciated by those having ordinary skill in the art a graph is constructed at step 110 from the n dimensional image or in one embodiment a series of images each pixel i e point of said image is associated with a vertex of said graph and said graph includes an edge connecting each pair of vertices corresponding to adjacent points in said image the graph may be defined as g v e with v representing a set of vertices of a graph and e representing a set of edges of a graph such that every pixel u or v has a corresponding vertex in one embodiment limited segmentation may be performed by a user operator 115 the limited segmentation or initial segmentation may be outputted to an electrical network 120 and defined as sets of vertices s 0 and t 0 each having member nodes s and t in one embodiment limited segmentation may be optionally performed by assigning foreground and background seeds either interactively or automatically by acquiring landmarks that belong to the foreground background a weight w representing a sum of the weights of the edges that define the partition obtained by a minimum s t cut may be calculated and inputted into the electrical network 120 as one skilled in the art will readily recognize the minimum s t cut.
