METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING VOLUMINA IN THE HUMAN OR ANIMAL BODY

According to known methods and devices, a suitable image-producing method detects the image data of a volume of interest, segments the detected image data manually, semi-automatically or fully automatically and automatically determines dimensional information about the volume of interest on the basis of the segmented image data. The aim of the invention is to improve the suitability of the automatically detected dimensional information, especially to improve their reliability. To this end, at least one characteristic value is allocated to the steps of detecting image data and segmenting image data. Said characteristic value represents a measure of error of said steps. An error value is determined on the basis of the allocated characteristic value for any error in determining the dimensional information. Said error can be displayed or output.
