Fast and Robust Semi-automatic Liver Segmentation with Haptic Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for semi-automatic segmentation of the liver from CT scans. True 3D interaction with haptic feedback is used to facilitate initialization, i.e., seeding of a fast marching algorithm. Four users initialized 52 datasets and the mean interaction time was 40 seconds. The segmentation accuracy was verified by a radiologist. Volume measurements and segmentation precision show that the method has a high reproducibility.

متن کاملSegmentation and Visualization of 3D Medical Images through Haptic Rendering
High-dimensional and high-resolution image data is increasingly produced by modern medical imaging equipment. As a consequence, the need for efficient interactive tools for segmentation and visualization of these medical images is also increasing. Existing software include state-of-the-art algorithms, but in most cases the interaction part is limited to 2D mouse/keyboard, despite the tasks bein...
متن کاملForce Feedback to Assist Active Contour Modelling for Tracheal Stenosis Segmentation
Manual segmentation of structures for diagnosis and treatment of various diseases is a very time-consuming procedure. Therefore, some level of automation during the segmentation is desired, as it often significantly reduces the segmentation time. A typical solution is to allow manual interaction to steer the segmentation process, which is known as semiautomatic segmentation. In 2D, such interac...
