[ITK] [ITK-dev] ITK Software Guide

Hi Celina,

I only see "Voronoi region" mentioned once here:

https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITKSoftwareGuide/blob/7eb1f6dda1e5bfe57938f53584113ee771b298a7/SoftwareGuide/Latex/DesignAndFunctionality/HybridSegmentationMethods.tex

Perhaps we just replace "Voronoi region" with "region"?

Other improvements to make the language more accurate / precise are welcome.

Thanks,
Matt
