Image segmentation approach to extract colon lumen through colonic material tagging and hidden Markov random field model for virtual colonoscopy
2002
Medical Imaging 2002: Physiology and Function from Multidimensional Images
Virtual colonoscopy provides a safe, minimal-invasive approach to detect colonic polyps using medical imaging and computer graphics technologies. Residual stool and fluid are problematic for optimal viewing of the colonic mucosa. Electronic cleansing techniques combining bowel preparation, oral contrast agents, and image segmentation were developed to extract the colon lumen from computed tomography (CT) images of the colon. In this paper, we present a new electronic colon cleansing technology,
