Interactive contour delineation and refinement in treatment planning of image‐guided radiation therapy
The accurate contour delineation of the target and/or organs at risk (OAR) is essential in treatment planning for image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). Although many automatic contour delineation approaches have been proposed, few of them can fulfill the necessities of applications in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Moreover, clinicians would like to analyze the characteristics of regions of...
متن کاملImage Segmentation Techniques: A Survey
Image segmentation is a mechanism used to divide an image into multiple segments. It will make image smooth and easy to evaluate. Segmentation process also helps to find region of interest in a particular image. The main goal is to make image more simple and meaningful. Existing segmentation techniques can’t satisfy all type of images. This survey addressed various image segmentation techniques...
متن کاملImage Segmentation Review: A Survey of Image Segmentation Techniques
Segmentation is a process that divides the images into its regions or objects that have similar features or characteristics. Segmentation has no single standard procedure and it is very difficult in non-trivial images. The summit to which segmentation is carried out depends on the problem specification. Segmentation algorithms are based on two properties of intensity values-discontinuity and si...
متن کاملA Survey : Image Segmentation Techniques
Segmentation is considered as one of the main steps in image processing. It divides a digital image into multiple regions in order to analyze them. It is also used to distinguish different objects in the image. Several image segmentation techniques have been developed by the researchers in order to make images smooth and easy to evaluate. This paper presents a literature review of basic image s...
متن کاملImage Guided Radiation Therapy
An overview of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), a true revolution in the field of radiation oncology in that it provides the unprecedented means of conforming to the shape of the target tissues in 3-dimensions, reducing the risk of complications thereby improving the quality of life of irradiated patients. Moreover, IMRT provides the means to deliver higher than conventional doses ...
