Abstract
Recently, functional endoscopic sinus surgery became state of the art in the surgical treatment of endonasal pathology. For a more accurate access planning including 3D measures of the cavity, especially in complex cases of tumor diseases, segmentation of the paranasal sinus can be very useful. Unfortunately, this structure is quite complicated and difficult to segment. In our contribution, we propose a semi-automatic segmentation pipeline that significantly reduces the total processing time and the required interaction.
