3D Segmentation in the Clinic: A Grand Challenge
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the set-up of a segmentation competition for automatic and semi-automatic extraction of the liver from computed tomography scans and the caudate nucleus from brain MRI data. This competition was held in the form of a workshop at the 2007 Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention conference. The rationale for organizing the competition is discussed, the training and test data sets for both segmentation tasks are described and the scoring system used to evaluate the segmentation is presented.

Interactive Liver Tumor Segmentation Using Graph-cuts and Watershed
We present in this paper an application of minimal surfaces and Markov random fields to the segmentation of liver tumors. The originality of the work consists in applying these models to the region adjacency graph of a watershed transform. We detail the assumptions and the approximations introduced in these models by using a region graph instead of a pixel graph. This strategy leads to an inter...
متن کاملAutomatic Liver Segmentation from CT Scans Using Multi-layer Segmentation and Principal Component Analysis
This paper describes an automatic liver segmentation algorithm for extracting liver masks from CT scan volumes. The proposed method consists of two stages. In the first stage, a multi-layer segmentation scheme is utilized to generate 3D liver mask candidate hypotheses. In the second stage, a 3D liver model, based on the Principal Component Analysis, is created to verify and select the candidate...
متن کاملExtraction and 3D Segmentation of Tumors-Based Unsupervised Clustering Techniques in Medical Images
Introduction The diagnosis and separation of cancerous tumors in medical images require accuracy, experience, and time, and it has always posed itself as a major challenge to the radiologists and physicians. Materials and Methods We Received 290 medical images composed of 120 mammographic images, LJPEG format, scanned in gray-scale with 50 microns size, 110 MRI images including of T1-Wighted, T...
متن کاملIsointense infant brain MRI segmentation with a dilated convolutional neural network
Quantitative analysis of brain MRI at the age of 6 months is difficult because of the limited contrast between white matter and gray matter. In this study, we use a dilated triplanar convolutional neural network in combination with a non-dilated 3D convolutional neural network for the segmentation of white matter, gray matter and cerebrospinal fluid in infant brain MR images, as provided by the...
متن کاملNeural Network-Based Learning Kernel for Automatic Segmentation of Multiple Sclerosis Lesions on Magnetic Resonance Images
Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a degenerative disease of central nervous system. MS patients have some dead tissues in their brains called MS lesions. MRI is an imaging technique sensitive to soft tissues such as brain that shows MS lesions as hyper-intense or hypo-intense signals. Since manual segmentation of these lesions is a laborious and time consuming task, automatic segmentation ...
