Space and Time Shape Constrained Deformable Surfaces for D Medical Image Segmentation
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this work is to automatically extract quantita tive parameters from time sequences of D images D images suited to heart pathology diagnosis In this paper we propose a framework for the reconstruction of the left ventricle motion from D images based on D deformable surface models These D models are represented as a time sequence of D meshes whose deformation are correlated dur ing the cardiac cycle Both temporal and spatial constraints based on prior knowledge of heart shape and motion are combined to improve the segmentation accuracy In contrast to many earlier approaches our framework includes the notion of trajectory constraint We have demon strated the ability of this segmentation tool to deal with noisy or low contrast images on D MR SPECT and US images

A Hybrid 3D Colon Segmentation Method Using Modified Geometric Deformable Models
Introduction: Nowadays virtual colonoscopy has become a reliable and efficient method of detecting primary stages of colon cancer such as polyp detection. One of the most important and crucial stages of virtual colonoscopy is colon segmentation because an incorrect segmentation may lead to a misdiagnosis. Materials and Methods: In this work, a hybrid method based on Geometric Deformable Models...
متن کاملSpace and Time Shape Constrained Deformable Surfaces for 4D Medical Image Segmentation
The heart motion study is vital for the understanding and the early diagnosis of cardiac pathologies that remain the primary cause of death in western countries to date. Heart motion analysis require the extraction of quantitative parameters from time sequences of 3D images (4D images) such as volume, sep-tum wall thickness, ejection fraction and motion amplitude. In this paper, we propose a fr...
متن کاملFeature Extraction, Shape Fitting and Image Segmentation
This lecture covers the related topics of feature extraction, shape fitting and image segmentation. Just about all quantitative analysis of medical images requires some form of segmentation or feature extraction. Segmentation [3] [12] [13] distinguishes structures, regions or tissue classes of interest from other detail in the images. Feature extraction can be used to identify specific structur...
متن کاملFree Form based active contours for image segmentation and free space perception
In this paper we present a novel approach for representing and evolving deformable active contours. The method combines piecewise regular Bézier models and curve evolution defined by local Free Form Deformation. The contour deformation is locally constrained which allows contour convergence with almost linear complexity while adapting to various shape settings and handling topology changes of t...
