Evaluation of reproducibility for manual and semi-automated feature extraction in CT and MR images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three methods for extraction and quantitative measurement of features in CT and MR images are examined: hand tracing, semi-automated tracing using the livewire graph search algorithm, and extraction using a geometrically constrained region growth algorithm. Extracted structures are evaluated in terms of volume, cross-sectional area, and major axis in plane. Reproducibility, time required for extraction, and accuracy of each of these metrics is measured for each of the extraction methods using both phantoms and clinical lung tumor data.

متن کاملDesign, Construction and Evaluation of an Anthropomorphic Head Phantom for Assessment of Image Distortion in Stereotactic Radiosurgery Planning Systems
Introduction: In recent years, the use of magnetic resonance (MR) images in radiation treatment planning has drawn considerable attention. However, although the extent of a tumor can be determined in great detail on MR images, the geometric accuracy of these images is limited by distortions stemming from the inhomogeneity of the static background magnetic field, the nonlineari...
متن کاملAutomated Tumor Segmentation Based on Hidden Markov Classifier using Singular Value Decomposition Feature Extraction in Brain MR images
ntroduction: Diagnosing brain tumor is not always easy for doctors, and existence of an assistant that facilitates the interpretation process is an asset in the clinic. Computer vision techniques are devised to aid the clinic in detecting tumors based on a database of tumor c...
متن کاملA Semi-Automated Algorithm for Segmentation of the Left Atrial Appendage Landing Zone: Application in Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Procedures
Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...
متن کاملValidating Point-based MR/CT Registration Based on Semi-automatic Landmark Extraction
Manually extracting 3D anatomical point landmarks from images is generally timeconsuming and usually lacks reproducibility. To improve on this, we developed a semiautomatic procedure for landmark extraction. In this paper, we report on the validation of our procedure for the case of point-based rigid registration of MR/CT head images. The results of our semi-automatic procedure are compared wit...
