Segmentation algorithm of CT Image is discussed in this paper. Dynamic relative fuzzy region growing algorithm is used for CT. At the beginning of the segmentation, the confidence interval region growing algorithm is used. The overlapping parts in the initial segmentation result is segmented again with the improved fuzzy connected, and then determine which region the overlapping parts belong to. Thus, the final segmentation result can be obtained. Since the algorithm contains the advantages of region growing algorithm, fuzzy connected algorithm and the region competition, the runtime of segmentation is greatly reduced and better experimental results are obtained.

DIn this paper, we propose a fast and accurate semiautomatic method to effectively distinguish individual teeth from the sockets of teeth in dental CT images. Parameter values of thresholding and shapes of the teeth are propagated to the neighboring slice, based on the separated teeth from reference images. After the propagation of threshold values and shapes of the teeth, the histogram of the current slice was analyzed. The individual teeth are automatically separated and segmented by using seeded region growing. Then, the newly generated separation information is iteratively propagated to the neighboring slice. Our method was validated by ten sets of dental CT scans, and the results were compared with the manually segmented result and conventional methods. The average error of absolute value of volume measurement was2.29±0.56%, which was more accurate than conventional methods. Boosting up the speed with the multicore processors was shown to be 2.4 times faster than a single core processor. The proposed method identified the individual teeth accurately, demonstrating that it can give dentists substantial assistance during dental surgery.

Because the image fire smoke segmentation algorithm can not extract white, gray and black smoke at the same time, a smoke image segmentation algorithm is proposed by combining rough set and region growth method. The R component of the image is extracted in the RGB colour space, the roughness histogram is constructed according to the statistical histogram of the R component, and the appropriate valley value in the roughness histogram is selected as the segmentation threshold, the image is roughly segmented. Relative to the background image, the smoke belongs to the motion information, and the motion region is extracted by the interframe difference method to eliminate static interference. Smoke has a unique colour feature, a smoke colour model is created in the RGB colour space, the motion disturbances of similar colour are removed and the suspected smoke areas are obtained. The seed point is selected in the region, and the region is grown on the result of rough segmentation, the smoke region is extracted. The experimental results show that the algorithm can segment white, gray and black smoke at the same time, and the irregular information of smoke edges is relatively complete. Compared with the existing algorithms, the average segmentation accuracy, recall rate and F-value are increased by 19%, 21.5% and 20%, respectively.<br /><br />

The major reasons for liver carcinoma are cirrhosis and hepatitis.  In order to  identify carcinoma in the liver abdominal CT images are used. From abdominal CT images, segmentation of liver portion using adaptive region growing, tumor segmentation from extracted liver using Simple Linear Iterative Clustering is already implemented. In this paper, classification of tumors as benign or malignant is accomplished using Rough-set classifier based on texture feature extracted using Average Correction Higher Order Local Autocorrelation Coefficients and Legendre moments. Classification accuracy achieved in proposed scheme is 90%. The results obtained are promising and have been compared with existing methods.
