A method for positive emission tomography (PET) target image segmentation is provided. The method comprises capturing and digitizing image data of a selected target, determining an initial concentration ratio based on an initial source background ratio and an initial volume estimate of the selected target employing a concentration ratio table, determining a desired threshold from the initial concentration ratio and the initial volume estimate employing a threshold table, and determining a final volume estimate of the selected target based on the determined desired threshold.
