Prostate Segmentation in MR Images using 3D Shape Model Constratined Voxel Classificattion
P D Allen, James T. Graham, DC Williamson, C E Hutchinson · 2006
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous expansion of the prostate, the progress of which can be quantified by measuring the relative volumes of the prostate?s peripheral zone and central gland. Here we describe a method of automatic segmentation of both regions of the prostate from MR images using a combination of grey-level voxel classification and 3D statistical shape modelling.
