Automatic quantification of epicardial fat volume on non-enhanced cardiac CT scans using a multi-atlas segmentation approach.
PURPOSE There is increasing evidence that epicardial fat (i.e., adipose tissue contained within the pericardium) plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular disease. Obtaining the epicardial fat volume from routinely performed non-enhanced cardiac CT scans is therefore of clinical interest. The purpose of this work is to investigate the feasibility of automatic pericardium segm...
متن کاملSemi-automatic quantification of the epicardial fat in CT images
In this work we present a technique to automatically or semi-automatically quantify the epicardial fat in noncontrasted Computed Tomography (CT) images. In CT images, the epicardial fat is very close to the pericardial fat, distincted only by the pericardium. The pericardium appears in the image as a very thin line, very hard to discriminate. To enhance the pericardium line and to remove noise ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Semi-automatic Segmentation Methods for Persistent Ground Glass Nodules on Thin-Section CT Scans
OBJECTIVES This work was a comparative study that aimed to find a proper method for accurately segmenting persistent ground glass nodules (GGN) in thin-section computed tomography (CT) images after detecting them. METHODS To do this, we first applied five types of semi-automatic segmentation methods (i.e., level-set-based active contour model, localized region-based active contour model, seed...
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 Segmentation for Pulmonary Vessels in Plain Thoracic CT Scans
As pulmonary CT has a lot of noise produced by thoracic imaging and partial volume effect, it is difficult that the computer segments out the correct blood vessels for plain thoracic CT. Therefore, after a deep investigation into the enhancement, segmentation methods and the upgrading ability of fractional differential operation, the paper proposes an automatic segmentation method for pulmonary...
