چکیده

and key words In this paper, we present a new approach for segmenting regions of bone in MRI volumes using a deformable model . Our method takes into account the partial volume effects that occur with MRI data, thus permitting a precise segmentation of these bone regions . Partial volume is estimated, in a narrow band around the deformable model, at each iteration of the propagation of the model . Segmentation of the skull in medical imagery is an important stage in applications that require the construction of realistic models of the head . Such models are used, for example, to simulate the behavior of electromagnetic fields in the head and to model the electrical activity of the cortex in EEG andMEG data . Our segmentation method begins with a pre-segmentation stage, in which a preliminary segmentation of the skull is constructed using a region-growing method . The surface which bounds the pre-segmented skull region offers an automatic 3D initialization of the deformable model . This surface is propagated (in 3D) in the direction of its normal . This propagation is achieved using level set method, thus permitting changes to occur in the topology of the surface as it evolves, an essential capability for our problem . The speed at which the surface evolves is a function of the estimated partial volume. This provides a sub-voxel accuracy in the resulting segmentation .

Brain Magnetic Resonance Image Segmentation Segmentation d’images IRM cérébrales

This paper presents two segmentation methods, based on Markov Random Fields (MRF), to quantify automatically brain tissue volumes from Magnetic Resonance (MR) images. Anatomically, a human brain is considered as composed of three main tissues: gray matter, white matter and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Due to the resolution limitation of the image acquisition system, a voxel in MR image may be com...

Sequential model-based segmentation and recognition of image structures driven by visual features and spatial relations Segmentation séquentielle et reconnaissance de structure dans des images guidées par un modèle, des caractéristiques visuelles et des relations spatiales

A sequential segmentation framework, where objects in an image are successively segmented, generally raises some questions about the “best” segmentation sequence to follow and/or how to avoid error propagation. In this work, we propose original approaches to answer these questions in the case where the objects to segment are represented by a model describing the spatial relations between object...
