Segmentation of MR Data-Images Using a First-Order Deformable Spline Curve
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article describes an image segmentation procedure applied over magnetic resonance (MR) data-images. The applied technique is based on a contour propagation process deened by an energy minimization analysis. The nal contour of each volume of the heart is deened by a propagation process (spline deformable curve) added to a re-sampling procedure which increases the number of control points. The inclusion of control points is based on an angular-spatial subdivision, described as an angular-binary tree, and controlled by a curve-partition energy analysis.

متن کاملSegmentation of MR images with B - splinesnakes : A multi - resolution approach using thedistance transformation for model
A B-spline snake algorithm is proposed for the segmentation of the knee joint cartilage from MR images. A rst guess of the contour is provided interactively and is transformed into a B-spline representation. Image forces attract the B-spline curve towards the real cartilage boundaries. In addition, model forces based on a distance transformation are introduced in order to guide the evolution of...

Image-based change quantitation has been recognized as a promising tool for accurate assessment of tumor's early response to chemoprevention in cancer research. For example, various changes on breast density and vascularity in glandular tissue are the indicators of early response to treatment. Accurate extraction of glandular tissue from pre- and postcontrast magnetic resonance (MR) images requ...
متن کاملLevelset and B-Spline Deformable Model Techniques for Image Segmentation: A Pragmatic Comparative Study
Deformable contours are now widely used in image segmentation, using different models, criteria and numeric schemes. Some theoretical comparisons between few deformable model methods have been published [1]. Yet, very few experimental comparative study on real data have been reported. In this paper, we compare a levelset with a B-spline based deformable model approach to understand the mechanis...

Background: Accurate brain tissue segmentation from magnetic resonance (MR) images is an important step in analysis of cerebral images. There are software packages which are used for brain segmentation. These packages usually contain a set of skull stripping, intensity non-uniformity (bias) correction and segmentation routines. Thus, assessment of the quality of the segmented gray matter (GM), ...
