{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Module Description}}
This module uses a single seed point to segment an image. The seed point (fiducial) is placed within the region to be segmented. The upper and lower thresholds are entered by the user. The segmented region will contain pixels that are connected to this seed, and lie in between this range. Multiple seed points can be used.
<!--
Here comes a description what the module is good for. Explain briefly how it works and point to the [[documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Modules/{{documentation/modulename}}#References|references]] giving more details on the algorithm.

If you are documenting a CLI, the description should be extracted from the corresponding XML description. This could be done automatically using the following wiki template:<pre>{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-description}}

This module is meant to be used for segmenting the entire endocardium region from a cardiac MRI or MRA image. It can also be used for segmentation of structures in other types of images.
