Fully Automated Spleen Localization And Segmentation Using Machine Learning And 3D Active Contours.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Automated segmentation of the spleen in CT volumes is difficult due to variations in size, shape, and position of the spleen within the abdominal cavity as well as similarity of intensity values among organs in the abdominal cavity. In this paper we ...

Automatic thoracic anatomy segmentation on CT images using hierarchical fuzzy models and registration.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: In an attempt to overcome several hurdles that exist in organ segmentation approaches, the authors previously described a general automatic anatomy recognition (AAR) methodology for segmenting all major organs in multiple body regions body-w...

Medical image segmentation via atlases and fuzzy object models: Improving efficacy through optimum object search and fewer models.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Statistical object shape models (SOSMs), known as probabilistic atlases, are popular in medical image segmentation. They register an image into the atlas coordinate system, such that a desired object can be delineated from the constraints of...

A comparative study for chest radiograph image retrieval using binary texture and deep learning classification.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this work various approaches are investigated for X-ray image retrieval and specifically chest pathology retrieval. Given a query image taken from a data set of 443 images, the objective is to rank images according to similarity. Different feature...

Automatic learning-based beam angle selection for thoracic IMRT.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The treatment of thoracic cancer using external beam radiation requires an optimal selection of the radiation beam directions to ensure effective coverage of the target volume and to avoid unnecessary treatment of normal healthy tissues. Int...
