3D Segmentation for Multi-Organs in CT Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study addresses the challenging problem of automatic segmentation of the human anatomy needed for radiation dose calculations. Three-dimensional extensions of two well-known stateof-the art segmentation techniques are proposed and tested for usefulness on a set of clinical CT images. The new techniques are 3D Statistical Region Merging (3D-SRM) and 3D Efficient Graph-based Segmentation (3D-EGS). Segmentations of eight representative tissues (lungs, stomach, liver, heart, kidneys, spleen, bones and the spinal cord) were tested for accuracy using the Dice index, the Hausdorff distance and the Ht index. The 3D-SRM outperformed 3D-EGS producing the average (across the 8 tissues) Dice index, the Hausdorff distance, and the H2 of 0.89, 12.5 mm and 0.93, respectively.

متن کاملHierarchical Multi-Organ Segmentation Without Registration in 3D Abdominal CT Images
We present a novel framework for the segmentation of multiple organs in 3D abdominal CT images, which does not require registration with an atlas. Instead we use discriminative classifiers that have been trained on an array of 3D volumetric features and implicitly model the appearance of the organs of interest. We fully leverage all the available data and extract the features from inside superv...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional CT Image Segmentation by Combining 2D Fully Convolutional Network with 3D Majority Voting
We propose a novel approach for automatic segmentation of anatomical structures on 3D CT images by voting from a fully convolutional network (FCN), which accomplishes an end-to-end, voxel-wise multiple-class classification to map each voxel in a CT image directly to an anatomical label. The proposed method simplifies the segmentation of the anatomical structures (including multiple organs) in a...
