Research Progress of Liver CT Image Segmentation Techniques
Shanxing Ou · Chinese Medical Equipment Journal · 2009
The liver segmentation from CT image is not only the most basic and important technology for the following processing, but also a typically difficult problem. The accurate liver segmentation is the premise of quantitative analysis, computer aided diagnosis and treatment. A rather complete survey to liver CT image segmentation methods and character- istics are given, such as threshold value, active contour model, evolutionary algorithms, especially to the new methods or improvement of the classical methods which is put forward recently. The characteristic of these methods are analyzed. And the prospects and the challenge of liver segmentation technology form CT image are discussed.
