Title
Automatic Segmentation of the Liver in CT Using Level Sets Without Edges
Abstract
Liver volumetry is a required step for the planning of liver surgery and resection. It is generally based on Computerized tomography images, and segmentation of the liver is the most important step of the process. We propose an automatic segmentation algorithm based on a geometric level set method which provides an accurate segmentation of the liver, and requires no a priori information. We show results on different datasets, with and without a contrast agent. The segmentation is compared to manual delineation by a radiologist with good results.
