Ultrasound image segmentation: a survey
J.A. Noble,Djamal Boukerroui +1 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews ultrasound segmentation methods, in a broad sense, focusing on techniques developed for medical B-mode ultrasound images, and presents a classification of methodology in terms of use of prior information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Segmentation of prostate boundaries from ultrasound images using statistical shape model
TL;DR: A hierarchical deformation strategy is employed, in which the model adaptively focuses on the similarity of different Gabor features at different deformation stages using a multiresolution technique, i.e., coarse features first and fine features later.

Deformable segmentation of 3-D ultrasound prostate images using statistical texture matching method
Yiqiang Zhan,Dinggang Shen +1 more
TL;DR: Experimental results by using both synthesized and real data show the good performance of the proposed model in segmenting prostates from ultrasound images.

TL;DR: A new taxonomy for prostate segmentation strategies is defined that allows first to group the algorithms and then to point out the main advantages and drawbacks of each strategy, and a discussion on choosing the most appropriate segmentation strategy for a given imaging modality is provided.

Parametric shape modeling using deformable superellipses for prostate segmentation
TL;DR: An efficient and robust Bayesian segmentation algorithm that was applied to 125 prostate ultrasound images collected from 16 patients and was shown to be fairly insensitive to the choice of the initial curve.
