An ITK Filter for Bayesian Segmentation: itkBayesianClassifierImageFilter
نویسندگان
چکیده
An Insight Toolkit (ITK) filter for image segmentation with applications to brain MRI scans is presented in this paper. Previously, we showed how ITK could be used to implement our algorithm. This paper presents our new ITK filter for Bayesian segmentation along with results on brain MRI scans. Our algorithm is a refinement of the work of Teo, Saprio, and Wandall. The basic idea is to incorporate prior knowledge into the segmentation through Bayes’ rule. Image noise is removed via an affine invariant anisotropic smoothing of the posteriors as in Haker et. al. Specifically, we present the implementation of our Bayesian segmentation algorithm applied to brain MRI scans.

In this project, we developed an interactive watershed transform tool for the segmentation of MRI images of glioblastoma multiforme patients. This assisted segmentation tool increases accuracy and reduces inter and intra-observer variability present in current segmentation practices. A C++ implementation of this algorithm was developed within the Insight Toolkit (ITK) library, and further visco...

Quantitative CT for volumetric analysis of medical images is increasingly being proposed for monitoring patient response during chemotherapy trials. An integrated MATLAB GUI has been developed for an oncology trial at Georgetown University Hospital. This GUI allows for the calculation and visualization of the volume of a lesion. The GUI provides an estimate of the volume of the tumor using a se...
متن کاملConformal Flattening ITK Filter Release 0
This paper describes the Insight Toolkit (ITK) Conformal Flattening filter: itkConformalFlatteningFilter. This ITK filter is an implementation of a paper by Sigurd Angenent, et al., “On the Laplace-Beltrami Operator and Brain Surface Flattening” [1]. This filter performs an angle preserving map of any genus zero (i.e. no handles) surface to the sphere or, alternatively, to the plane. In this pa...
