<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=257215313-06042011>I do not want to segment
heart, lung etc seperately, i want to segment human vs background/patient table,
especially for CT head data. </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=257215313-06042011></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=257215313-06042011>I don't think that this
is a so special problem, in my opinion every time you want to register a ct
data set you need such a segmentation for excluding background so i think this a
very common task. I already wrote a segmentation algorithm based on the itk
region grower with seed points in the image center but i get sometimes problems
with the patient table (and i want it 100% automatic) so before i make
complicated algorithms i want to first ask the community.</SPAN></DIV>

[Insight-users] Segmentation of CT data<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><BR>Dear Gerald,<BR>the segmentation problem is highly specific and
depends on the tissue you wish to segment. If you want to segment every
organ/tissue in a CT dataset, I would dare to say that you will need to look for
the most suitable algorithm for each of them.<BR>The ITK Software Guide presents
an interesting range of segmentation algorithms that you can use your starting
point.<BR><BR>So there is not a one-for-all, all-purpose algorithm. Segmenting
all tissues you may have in a certain volume can be hard work.<BR> <BR>That
said, I haven't had the opportunity to approach the patient-table removal
problem. But if your requirements allow for some user interaction, you can
imagine the user selecting a volumen of interest that excludes the table (may be
too optimistic), or the user picking some seed points on the tissues you want to
segment and the developping some of your algorithms around these points (this
would be a typical starting point for the region growing algorithm you used).
Granting the user some control when overflows occur could also be helpful.
<BR>That way, in principle, you could avoid the problem. But I agree that it may
not be that easy.<BR><BR>Best regards,<BR>JON HAITZ<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>El
