چکیده

In this paper, we proposed a mechanism based on level set method to find the bone marrow parts of the knee MR images. The segmentation can be divided into three steps. The first step is to do rough segmentation on the image using level set method. The second step is to do further segmentation on the result of level set method, and then eliminating the fragments caused by level set method. The third step is to find the bone marrow parts by using the shape feature of each segmentation part. Our experimental result will show that the bone marrow parts can be correctly segmented by the above mechanism.

Quantitative Comparison of SPM, FSL, and Brainsuite for Brain MR Image Segmentation

Background: Accurate brain tissue segmentation from magnetic resonance (MR) images is an important step in analysis of cerebral images. There are software packages which are used for brain segmentation. These packages usually contain a set of skull stripping, intensity non-uniformity (bias) correction and segmentation routines. Thus, assessment of the quality of the segmented gray matter (GM), ...

Comparison of state-of-the-art atlas-based bone segmentation approaches from brain MR images for MR-only radiation planning and PET/MR attenuation correction

Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...
