Hierarchic Anatomical Structure Segmentation Guided by Spatial Correlations (AnatSeg-Gspac): VISCERAL Anatomy3
نویسندگان
چکیده
Medical image analysis techniques require an initial localization and segmentation of the corresponding anatomical structures. As part of the VISCERAL Anatomy segmentation benchmarks, a hierarchical multi–atlas multi–structure segmentation approach guided by anatomical correlations is proposed (AnatSeg-Gspac). The method defines a global alignment of the images and refines locally the anatomical regions of interest for the smaller structures. In this paper, the method is evaluated in the VISCERAL Anatomy3 benchmark in twenty anatomical structures in both contrast– enhanced and non–enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans. AnatSeg-Gspac obtained the lowest average Hausdorff distance in 19 out of the 40 possible structure scores in the test set CT scans.

Efficient and fully automatic segmentation of the lungs in CT volumes
The segmentation of lung volumes constitutes the first step for most computer–aided systems for lung diseases. CT (Computed Tomography) is the most common imaging technique used by these systems, so fast and accurate methods are needed to for allow early and reliable analysis. In this paper, an efficient and fully automatic method for the segmentation of the lung volumes in CT is presented. Thi...

In vivo quantification of subcutaneous and visceral adiposity by micro-computed tomography in a small animal model.
Accurate and precise techniques that identify the quantity and distribution of adipose tissue in vivo are critical for investigations of adipose development, obesity, or diabetes. Here, we tested whether in vivo micro-computed tomography (microCT) can be used to provide information on the distribution of total, subcutaneous and visceral fat volume in the mouse. Ninety C57BL/6J mice (weight rang...

متن کاملMotion guided segmentation of the right ventricle for 3D cine DENSE MRI
Background Cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) provides quantitative imaging of tissue motion with high spatial resolution. Recent results have demonstrated that 3D cine DENSE provides resolution sufficient to quantify the mechanics of the right ventricle (RV) [1]. However, RV analysis currently requires manual anatomical delineation on all cine frames. This research exten...
