To deal with the registration errors between the heterogeneous abdominal CT images, the context learning method for performance level estimation (CLSIMPLE) method was previously proposed. However, the CLSIMPLE typically trains a single GMM from the entire heterogeneous training atlas set. Therefore, the estimated prior maps might not represent specific target images accurately. We propose an adaptive context learning SIMPLE (A-CLSIMPLE) to train the GMM adaptively using subsets of the training data with the subsets tailored for different target images. From the results, A-CLSIMPLE achieved more accurate spleen segmentation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1082\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1082\" style=\"width: 2014px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1082\" src=\"https:\/\/my.vanderbilt.edu\/masi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2304\n2661\/2016\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-08-at-1.03.01-PM1.png\" alt=\" Flow chart of the four different MAS pipelines.
