Title
Model based 3D segmentation and OCT image undistortion of percutaneous implants.
Abstract
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive imaging technique which is used here for in vivo biocompatibility studies of percutaneous implants. A prerequisite for a morphometric analysis of the OCT images is the correction of optical distortions caused by the index of refraction in the tissue. We propose a fully automatic approach for 3D segmentation of percutaneous implants using Markov random fields. Refraction correction is done by using the subcutaneous implant base as a prior for model based estimation of the refractive index using a generalized Hough transform. Experiments show the competitiveness of our algorithm towards manual segmentations done by experts.
