FFT based interpolation and 3 D level set methods for 3 D throat region segmentation from MRI data
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new algorithm for 3D throat region segmentation from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is presented. The proposed algorithm initially pre-processes the MRI data to increase the contrast between the throat region and its surrounding tissues and also to reduce artifacts. Isotropic 3D volume is reconstructed using Fast Fourier Transform based interpolation. Furthermore, a cube encompassing the throat region is evolved using level set method to form a smooth 3D boundary of the throat region. The results of the proposed algorithm on real and synthetic MRI data are used to validate the robustness and accuracy of

Combining interpolation and 3D level set method (I+3DLSM) for medical image segmentation
A combined interpolation 3D Level Set Method (I+3DLSM) based segmentation process is presented. The performance in terms of accuracy of the 3-dimensional (3D) level set method (LSM) in the segmentation of throat regions from highly anisotropic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) volumes, with and without an interpolation step is evaluated. Qualitative and quantitative results from real MRI data su...
متن کاملRadial Basis Function Interpolation for Rapid Interactive Segmentation of 3-D Medical Images
Abstract. Segmentation is one of the most important parts of medical image processing. Manual segmentation is very cumbersome and timeconsuming. Fully automatic segmentation approaches require a large amount of labeled training data and may fail in difficult cases. In this paper, we propose a new method for 2-D segmentation and 3-D interpolation. The Smart Brush functionality quickly segments t...
متن کامل3-D segmentation of multi-view images based on disparity estimation
This paper presents new methods for partitioning a set of multi-view images into 3-D regions corresponding to objects in the scene in order to parse raw multi-view data into a 3-D region based structured representation. For this purpose, color, position and disparity information at each pixel are incorporated as an attributes vector into the segmentation process. We propose three methods, all o...

This paper presents the implementation and quantitative evaluation of a four-phase three-dimensional active contour implemented with a level set framework for automated segmentation of cortical structures on brain T1 MRIs. The segmentation algorithm performed an optimal partitioning of threedimensional data based on homogeneity measures that naturally evolves to the extraction of different tiss...
متن کاملAutomatic segmentation of glioma tumors from BraTS 2018 challenge dataset using a 2D U-Net network
Background: Glioma is the most common primary brain tumor, and early detection of tumors is important in the treatment planning for the patient. The precise segmentation of the tumor and intratumoral areas on the MRI by a radiologist is the first step in the diagnosis, which, in addition to the consuming time, can also receive different diagnoses from different physicians. The aim of this study...
