AbstractIn this paper, two image processing methods for use in medical image processing based on the level set method are described. The theoretical bases are described and the methods are applied to a set of sample computed tomography images. The results are then compared. The results indicate that the Chan-Vese method is more useful for image segmentation in medicine than the distance-regulated method owing to both the significant differences in calculation time and the quality of results obtained for noisy images.

The image segmentation is very important in medical image processing. The paper studies the watershed segmentation, and over-segmentation is the main problem of watershed. Based on this, the paper proposed an improved watershed medical image segmentation method. And the corresponding simulation is done and the result show that the method can resolve the over-segmentation of watershed and can achieve good segmentation.

Medical image processing includes many basic components such as medical image filtering, medical image segmentation and medical image registration, whose advanced algorithms can be found in ITK platform. But the ITK is difficult for the beginners. Only simple function is used to call dozens of image processing algorithms by MATITK . Therefore by using MATITK , the students can master these advanced algorithms and the improved implementation results can be obtained.

In the medical image resolution, automatic segmentation is a challenging task, and it's still an unsolved problem for most medical applications due to the wide variety connected with image modalities, encoding parameters, and organic variability. In this chapter, a review and critique of medical image segmentation using clustering, compression, histogram, edge detection, parametric, variational model. and level set-based methods is presented. Modes of segmentation like manual, semi-automatic, interactive, and automatic are also discussed. To present current challenges, aim and motivation for doing fast, interactive and correct segmentation, the medical image modalities X-ray, CT, MRI, and PET are discussed in this chapter.
