A morphology and knowledge-based automatic segmentation of intracranial structures on cerebral computerized tomography
Chuanfu Li, Kang-yuan Zhou · 2006
In order to segment intracranial structures on cerebral computed tomography(CCT).With the prior knowledge of anatomy and diagnostic imaging,a method of automatic segmentation of intracranial structures on CCT was put forward,based on the morphology and the connectedness of intracranial structures.The segmentation results of 100 cases of consecutive CCT demonstrated that satisfactory results had been achieved in all the cases with closed skull(97/100).However,further research is needed on those cases without closed skull.
