Liver Segmentation from CT Scans
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic and semi-automatic liver segmentation is a challenging task in the field of medical image processing. In this paper we briefly describe our automatic gray level based liver segmentation method that employs a fast marching technique. We will provide a short description of our system, since a detailed paper has been submitted for publication and it cannot become publicly available until any decision has been made.

Constructing a Probabilistic Model for Automated Liver Region Segmentation Using Non-contrast X-Ray Torso CT images
A probabilistic model was proposed in this research for fully-automated segmentation of liver region in non-contrast X-ray torso CT images. This probabilistic model was composed of two kinds of probability that show the location and density (CT number) of the liver in CT images. The probability of the liver on the spatial location was constructed from a number of CT scans in which the liver reg...
متن کاملSemi-automatic Liver Segmentation From Computed Tomography (CT) Scans based on Deformable Surfaces
This paper presents a semi-automatic segmentation method to extract the liver volume from CT scans, based on discrete deformable surfaces with both a priori shape and intensity information. A shape model of the liver, represented as a triangular mesh, is built and is manually located in the region of interest, to be iteratively deformed in function of the image intensity and edges. In the defor...
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 کاملProstate segmentation and lesions classification in CT images using Mask R-CNN
Purpose: Non-cancerous prostate lesions such as prostate calcification, prostate enlargement, and prostate inflammation cause too many problems for men’s health. This research proposes a novel approach, a combination of image processing techniques and deep learning methods for classification and segmentation of the prostate in CT-scan images by considering the experienced physicians’ reports. ...
متن کاملSemi-automatic Segmentation of Liver Tumors from CT Scans Using Bayesian Rule-based 3D Region Growing
Automatic segmentation of liver tumorous regions often fails due to high noise and large variance of tumors. In this work, a semiautomatic algorithm is proposed to segment liver tumors from computed tomography (CT) images. To cope with the variance of tumors, their intensity probability density functions (PDF) are modeled as a bag of Gaussians unlike the previous works where the tumor is modele...
