A method and related system for automatically and efficiently isolating the heart in Computer Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging cardiac scans is disclosed. The method involves segmenting a heart within a set of volumetric data. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the set of volumetric data is processed to determine the minimum value of an energy function having a first term, a second term and a third term. The heart is segmented based on the processing of the set of volumetric data.
