                 the European Community's Advanced Informatics in
                 Medicine program. The goal is to improve the diagnosis
                 and planning of treatment (radiotherapy) for patients
                 with brain tumors and other diseases. The aim of
                 radiotherapy is to provide a high dose of radiation to
                 a tumor while sparing as much as possible of the
                 surrounding health tissue. A necessary first step is
                 defining the target volume and organs at risk by
                 manually outlining the required contours on magnetic
                 resonance or computed tomography scans. For a full
                 three-dimensional plan this is time-consuming, as 40 or
                 more scans are used. Computer image segmentation speeds
                 up the process, and a method that combines information
                 from edge and region detectors is described.",
