Background:

Image segmentation accuracy is crucial for medical diagnosis.
Existing methods often lack robustness and struggle with complex anatomical structures.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a robust image segmentation strategy using shape prior knowledge.
To guide segmentation towards optimal solutions by incorporating geometric relevance.

Main Methods:

A composite shape prior regularization was designed within a variational image segmentation framework.
Geometric relevance was inferred using an image-based surrogate metric.
A unified optimization setting and variational block-descent algorithm were employed.

Main Results:

The method demonstrated superior performance in segmenting corpus callosum (MR) and clavicle (CT) images.
The composite shape prior effectively prioritized geometrically relevant training data.
Statistically significant improvements in segmentation accuracy were observed compared to benchmark methods.

Conclusions:

A novel composite shape prior regularization technique was successfully developed.
The proposed method offers superior image segmentation performance over existing benchmark schemes.
