Edge-region integration for segmentation of MR images
نویسندگان
چکیده
A data-driven segmentation scheme is described that integrates edges and smooth regions. Edges are detected first and then used to guide the action of a dualresolution agglomeratine •parametric region detector. The scheme is applied to a variety of MR images. A comparison is made of segmentations produced by the scheme and by medical experts. The results are better than those obtained from the edge detection process alone.

Quantitative Comparison of SPM, FSL, and Brainsuite for Brain MR Image Segmentation
Background: Accurate brain tissue segmentation from magnetic resonance (MR) images is an important step in analysis of cerebral images. There are software packages which are used for brain segmentation. These packages usually contain a set of skull stripping, intensity non-uniformity (bias) correction and segmentation routines. Thus, assessment of the quality of the segmented gray matter (GM), ...

Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...
