Brain Structure Segmentation from MRI by Geometric Surface Flow
We present a method for semiautomatic segmentation of brain structures such as thalamus from MRI images based on the concept of geometric surface flow. Given an MRI image, the user can interactively initialize a seed model within region of interest. The model will then start to evolve by incorporating both boundary and region information following the principle of variational analysis. The defo...
متن کاملA Novel Algorithm for Automatic Brain Structure Segmentation from MRI
This paper proposes an automatic segmentation algorithm that combines clustering and deformable models. First, a k-means clustering is performed based on the image intensity. A hierarchical recognition scheme is then used to recognize the structure to be segmented, and an initial seed is constructed from the recognized region. The seed is then evolved under certain deformable model mechanism. T...
متن کامل3D geometric split-merge segmentation of brain MRI datasets
In this paper, a novel method for MRI volume segmentation based on region adaptive splitting and merging is proposed. The method, called Adaptive Geometric Split Merge (AGSM) segmentation, aims at finding complex geometrical shapes that consist of homogeneous geometrical 3D regions. In each volume splitting step, several splitting strategies are examined and the most appropriate is activated. A...
متن کاملAutomatic Hippocampus Segmentation from Brain MRI Images
Since hippocampal volume measurement is often used in studying Alzheimer’s disease to assess disease progression, automatic hippocampus segmentation is an important task in clinical applications. However, it is a challenging task due to its small size, complex shape, fuzzy boundaries, partial volume effects, and anatomical variability. In this paper we propose a new registration method to segme...
متن کاملAutomatic Segmentation of Putamen from Brain MRI
In this paper we present an automatic algorithm for segmenting the putamen from brain MRI based on wavelets and neural network. We first locate the position of putamen using wavelet features. The fuzzy cmeans algorithm is then combined with edge detection to segment the grey matter pixels belonging to the putamen in the located region. Moment features are extracted from the segmented objects fo...
