Combining interpolation and 3D level set method (I+3DLSM) for medical image segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A combined interpolation 3D Level Set Method (I+3DLSM) based segmentation process is presented. The performance in terms of accuracy of the 3-dimensional (3D) level set method (LSM) in the segmentation of throat regions from highly anisotropic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) volumes, with and without an interpolation step is evaluated. Qualitative and quantitative results from real MRI data suggest that performing interpolation, to reconstruct isotropic MRI volumes, prior to 3D LSM improves the accuracy of the segmentation results, compared to interpolation post 3D LSM and no interpolation at all.

متن کاملInteractive 3D medical image segmentation with energy-minimizing implicit functions
We present an interactive segmentation method for three-dimensional medical images that reconstructs the surface of an object using energy-minimizing, smooth, implicit functions. This reconstruction problem is called variational interpolation. For an intuitive segmentation of medical images, variational interpolation can be based on a set of user-drawn, planar contours that can be arbitrarily o...
متن کاملOptimizing design of 3D seismic acquisition by CRS trace interpolation
Land seismic data acquisition in most of cases suffers from obstacles in fields which deviates geometry of the real acquired data from what was designed. These obstacles will cause gaps, narrow azimuth and offset limitation in the data. These shortcomings, not only prevents regular trace distribution in bins, but also distorts the subsurface image by reducing illumination of the target formatio...
متن کاملPartial Differential Equations applied to Medical Image Segmentation
This paper presents an application of partial differential equations(PDEs) for the segmentation of abdominal and thoracic aortic in CTA datasets. An important challenge in reliably detecting aortic is the need to overcome problems associated with intensity inhomogeneities. Level sets are part of an important class of methods that utilize partial differential equations (PDEs) and have been exte...
