Liver Segmentation of CT Scan Images: A Survey

Liver Cancer is one of the fastest growing cancer in the world. According to a survey the liver cancer ranks as the 11 most commonly occurring cancer. The survey was done on the basis of survival rate. If the person has survived for 5 years then the survival rate is chosen as 5 years. From study it is revealed that every one man among three and every one woman among nine has chance of getting liver cancer in lifetime. This paper gives a comparision study between texture based segmentation and k means algorithm. Various works have been carried out in order to extract liver from ct scan images. Many works claims it to be superior but comparative study is lacking among them. Keywords—Texture algorithm, k means algorithm, segmentation
