<DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#000080 size=2>Hi Luis</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>&nbsp; Thanks for your instant reply for my problem. I 
think maybe the resulting principal component is correct so</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>I just follow my plan to do liver segmentation. However 
I have met another problem recently. The final segmentation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>result is incorrect.&nbsp;Generally speaking,&nbsp;the 
result is not like a liver(http://www.siat.ac.cn/~jiafucang/ssmdata/ 
result02.mhd).&nbsp;I just modified the example(<FONT 
color=#000000>Insight\Examples\Segmentation\GeodesicActiveContourShapePriorLevelSetImageFilter.cxx</FONT>)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>to 3D condition. The modified code is in bold. I think 
maybe the parameter that I input to the filter is not appropriate but I&nbsp; 
don't&nbsp;quite understand&nbsp;the influence of these parameters &nbsp;to the 
final result. Can you give me some advices about the values of&nbsp;these 
parameters?(Now <FONT color=#000000>initial&nbsp;radius&nbsp;is&nbsp;$6$ 
,propagation&nbsp;and&nbsp;shape&nbsp;prior&nbsp;scaling&nbsp;are&nbsp;respectively&nbsp;set&nbsp;to&nbsp;$0.5$&nbsp;and&nbsp;$0.02$ 
and the final result is not correct.</FONT>)</FONT></DIV>
