Medical imaging is the technique that is used to produce images of the human body or parts for clinical purpose.The CT image provides thorough information of structure of lungs, which could be used for better surgical preparation for treating Lung Cancer features.This work proposes a method for segmentation of lungs from the given CT images.Here a curve evolutional framework for segmentation is used.The flow fields driving the curves are based on the distributions of features in the inner and outer regions bounded by the curves.The segmentation method is automatic and shows good result.
