A supervoxel-based segmentation method for prostate MR images
PURPOSE Segmentation of the prostate on MR images has many applications in prostate cancer management. In this work, we propose a supervoxel-based segmentation method for prostate MR images. METHODS A supervoxel is a set of pixels that have similar intensities, locations, and textures in a 3D image volume. The prostate segmentation problem is considered as assigning a binary label to each sup...
متن کاملAtlas Based Segmentation of the prostate in MR images
The large variability and contrast differences between prostates make its segmentation difficult using traditional segmentation methods. In this paper we present an automatic method based on nonrigid registration of a set of prelabelled MR altas images. The algorithm consists of three stages. Firstly, the target image is nonrigidly registered with each atlas image, using mutual information as t...
متن کاملStatistical Asymmetry-based Brain Tumor Segmentation from 3D MR Images
The precise segmentation of brain tumors from MR images is necessary for surgical planning. However, it is a tedious task for the medical professionals to process manually. The performance of supervised machine learning techniques for automatic tumor segmentation is time consuming and very dependent on the type of the training samples. Brain tumors are statistically asymmetrical blobs with resp...
متن کاملComparison of state-of-the-art atlas-based bone segmentation approaches from brain MR images for MR-only radiation planning and PET/MR attenuation correction
Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...
متن کاملVolumetric ConvNets with Mixed Residual Connections for Automated Prostate Segmentation from 3D MR Images
Automated prostate segmentation from 3D MR images is very challenging due to large variations of prostate shape and indistinct prostate boundaries. We propose a novel volumetric convolutional neural network (ConvNet) with mixed residual connections to cope with this challenging problem. Compared with previous methods, our volumetric ConvNet has two compelling advantages. First, it is implemente...
