In this work we present a user-friendly interactive segmentation tool that is handy and suitable for clinicians and is developed to improve, accelerate and facilitate MRI muscle segmentation process. Segmentation software is built on the top of ITK-SNAP and incorporates a new segmentation tool based on a robust semi-automatic random walker algorithm. Experimental segmentation was done on a human thigh muscle MRI dataset and compared to a manual segmentation using relative volume differences and Dice coefficients. We have achieved a sufficient acceleration in segmentation process with minor loss of segmentation quality.
