This paper proposes a novel semiautomatic method to extract the pancreas from abdominal CT images. Traditional level set and region growing methods that request locating initial contour near the final boundary of object have problem of leakage to nearby tissues of pancreas region. The proposed method consists of a customized fast-marching level set method which generates an optimal initial pancreas region to solve the problem that the level set method is sensitive to the initial contour location and a modified distance regularized level set method which extracts accurate pancreas. The novelty in our method is the proper selection and combination of level set methods, furthermore an energy-decrement algorithm and an energy-tune algorithm are proposed to reduce the negative impact of bonding force caused by connected tissue whose intensity is similar with pancreas. As a result, our method overcomes the shortages of oversegmentation at weak boundary and can accurately extract pancreas from CT images. The proposed method is compared to other five state-of-the-art medical image segmentation methods based on a CT image dataset which contains abdominal images from 10 patients. The evaluated results demonstrate that our method outperforms other methods by achieving higher accuracy and making less false segmentation in pancreas extraction.

Outward directed surface extraction from imaging modalities is the first task in the design of implants. In this paper a method based on level set method is proposed to extract the directed surface from CT images. The process is composed of two steps. In the first step, Level Set method with a new speed function is employed to evolve zero level set to its destination and used to cut the desired bone part from the input CT images. In the second step, a simple method is used to extract the directed surface, usually the outward surface, from the separated bone part by removing the interior surface. The experimental results show the proposed method works well.

Contour Model

Lung cancer is the most common leading cancer in both men and women all over the world. Accurate image segmentation is an essential image analysis tool that is responsible for partitioning an image into several sub-regions. Active contour model have been widely used for effective image segmentation methods as this model produce sub-regions with continuous boundaries. It is used in the applications such as image analysis, deep learning, computer vision and machine learning. Advanced level set method helps to implement active contours for image segmentation with good boundary detection accuracy. This paper proposes a model based on active contour using level set methods for segmentation of such lung CT images and focusing 3D lesion refinement. The features were determined by applying a multi-scale Gaussian filter. This proposed method is able to detect lung tumors in CT images with intensity, homogeneity and noise. The proposed method uses LIDC-IDRI dataset images to segment accurate 3D lesion of lung tumor CT images.
