A Comparative Approach for Contour Detection of Brain Tumors by Using Image Correlation Techniques on tomography images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, contours of a brain tumor on a single slice tomography image were derived by using image correlation technique. Four different methods were used to compare the validity of the derived contours. Contour map of the brain tumor was generated by using 2D image correlation technique with raw pixel , perceived brightness (luminance), optical density and Relative radiation dose data. The resultant contour maps were the same in all methods. They produced the digital data for any remote surgical device to remove the tumor area.

Introduction: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is one of the possible complications of radiotherapy treatment of brain tumors. The auditory system of patients with brain tumors often is placed inside of radiation field and receives a significant amount of radiation dose resulting in hearing loss. The purpose of this study was to compare contouring and delivery dose to cochlea...

متن کاملSurface reconstruction of detect contours for medical image registration purpose
Although, most of the abnormal structures of human brain do not alter the shape of outer envelope of brain (surface), some abnormalities can deform the surface extensively. However, this may be a major problem in a surface-based registration technique, since two nearly identical surfaces are required for surface fitting process. A type of verification known as the circularity check for th...
