This paper has proposed a gradient based homogeneity criteria to control the region grow process while segmenting CTA images and discussed popular seeded region grow methodology used for segmenting anatomical structures in CT Angiography images.
Abstract
Segmentation of medical images using seeded region growing technique is increasingly becoming a popular method because of its ability to involve high-level knowledge of anatomical structures in seed selection process Region based segmentation of medical images are widely used in varied clinical applications like visualization, bone detection, tumor detection and unsupervised image retrieval in clinical databases As medical images are mostly fuzzy in nature, segmenting regions based intensity is the most challenging task In this paper, we discuss about popular seeded region grow methodology used for segmenting anatomical structures in CT Angiography images We have proposed a gradient based homogeneity criteria to control the region grow process while segmenting CTA images

An Integrated Interactive Technique for Image Segmentation using Stack based Seeded Region Growing and Thresholding

TL;DR: A novel real time integrated method to locate the segmented region of interest of an image based on the Region Growing segmentation method along with the thresholding supported image segmentation established that the proposed integrated method outperformed the region growing method in terms of the recall and F-score.

Colorization and automated segmentation of human T2 MR brain images for characterization of soft tissues.

TL;DR: A novel colorization method to underscore the variability in brain MR images, indicative of the underlying physical density of bio tissue, and a segmentation method (both hard and soft segmentation) to characterize gray brain MR pictures, yielding promising results for manual tracing.

Object extraction from T2 weighted brain MR image using histogram based gradient calculation

TL;DR: The proposed method for object extraction from T2 weighted (T2) brain magnetic resonance (MR) images is purely based on histogram processing for gradient calculation and utilizes the histogram filtering technique as a pre-processing.

Computer Assisted Diagnostic System in Tumor Radiography

TL;DR: An improved and efficient method is presented to achieve a better trade-off between noise removal and edge preservation, thereby detecting the tumor region of MRI brain images automatically and showing detection accuracy of 99.46 %, which is a significant improvement than that of the existing results.

Snakes : Active Contour Models

TL;DR: This work uses snakes for interactive interpretation, in which user-imposed constraint forces guide the snake near features of interest, and uses scale-space continuation to enlarge the capture region surrounding a feature.

Seeded region growing

TL;DR: This correspondence presents a new algorithm for segmentation of intensity images which is robust, rapid, and free of tuning parameters, and suggests two ways in which it can be employed, namely, by using manual seed selection or by automated procedures.
