On the Importance of Location and Features for the Patch-Based Segmentation of Parotid Glands
The segmentation of parotid glands in CT scans of patients with head and neck cancer is an essential part of treatment planning. We introduce a new method for the automatic segmentation of parotid glands that extends existing patch-based approaches in three ways: (1) we promote the use of image features in combination with patch intensity values to increase discrimination; (2) we work with larg...
متن کاملHead and Neck Auto-segmentation Challenge: Segmentation of the Parotid Glands
This paper presents the results of the Head and Neck Autosegmentation Challenge, a part of the workshop, “Medical Image Analysis in the Clinic: A Grand Challenge”, held in conjunction with the 13 International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Interventions (MICCAI), Beijing, China, in September 2010. The aim of the challenge was to evaluate the performance of fully au...
متن کاملFat deposition of parotid glands.
UNLABELLED Parotid gland parenchyma histology may be altered by local or systemic, pathological or nonpathological conditions. OBJECTIVE This paper aims to highlight the fatty degeneration of the parotid gland, a not well-known non-pathological condition. METHOD In a retrospective study, we collected a series of 6 patients which presented a swelling of the parotid, but even after extensive ...
متن کاملEfficient and robust denoising of magnetic resonance brain images based on wavelet based nonlocal means algorithm
-----------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT---------------------------------------------------------Image denoising has become an essential exercise in medical imaging especially the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In the proposed method noisy image is first decomposed into subband by wavelet transform and the nonlocal means filter is applied to each subband. This prop...
متن کاملNonlocal Means-Based Denoising for Medical Images
Medical images often consist of low-contrast objects corrupted by random noise arising in the image acquisition process. Thus, image denoising is one of the fundamental tasks required by medical imaging analysis. Nonlocal means (NL-means) method provides a powerful framework for denoising. In this work, we investigate an adaptive denoising scheme based on the patch NL-means algorithm for medica...
