ON CEREBROSPINAL FLUID SEGMENTATION FROM CT BRAIN SCANS USING INTERACTIVE GRAPH CUTS
Journal Title: Informatyka Automatyka Pomiary w Gospodarce i Ochronie Środowiska - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Inaccuracy of the manual assessment of brain diseases forces medicine to look for a new solutions. The key factor in the diagnosis of many brain lesions is an accumulation, volume and pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in ventricles and cavities of the brain. In this paper, the problem of segmentation of the CSF is regarded. Specifically, the min-cut/max-flow algorithm is investigated and applied to several CT scans. The results reveals that this approach may provide a basis for further quantitative analysis of brain lesions.
