An Algorithm for the Pulmonary Border Extraction in PET Images
2012
Procedia Technology - Elsevier
Additionally, an algorithm for the lung border extraction in CT images was developed in response to physicians' requirements for a better understanding of each individuals' specific anatomy. ...
This paper presents a novel approach for the fully automatic extraction of the pulmonary boundaries for PET images based in the concept of "marker-driven watershed segmentation". ...

Multi-phase simultaneous segmentation of tumor in lung 4D-CT data with context information
2017
PLoS ONE
In this paper, we propose a new method based on an improved graph cut algorithm with context information constraint to find a convenient and robust approach of lung 4D-CT tumor segmentation. ...
The optimization is achieved by solving a max-flow/min-cut problem, which leads to simultaneous and robust segmentation of the tumor in all the lung 4D-CT phases. ...
The rest of our paper is organized as follows: the materials and the details of our method for the tumor segmentation of the lung 4D-CT data will be presented in Section II. ...
