In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach for fully automatic liver segmentation in Computed Tomography (CT) data. The approach consists of four stages: first, an intensity-based partition is applied to obtain the soft-tissue regions. Second, a region-based texture classification is used to classify all the soft-tissue regions based on texture features and generate probability images. Third, ...

The aim of the study was to determine clinical and diagnostic significance collagens third type (Col3) fourth (Col4) in various forms alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Materials methods. 98 patients with ALD were examined: 13 (13.3%) steatosis (LS), 15 (15.3%) steatohepatitis (SH), 56 (57.1%) cirrhosis (LC), 14 (14.3%) severe hepatitis against background (SAH-LC). Among examined there 59 (60.2%) m...
