Title
Adrenal tumor segmentation method for MR images.
Abstract
•Adrenal tumors can be adherent to liver, spleen, spinal cord, kidney, and this situation prevents an accurate segmentation of adrenal tumors.•In addition, low contrast, non-standardized shape and size, homogeneity, and heterogeneity of the tumors are considered as problems in segmentation.•This study proposes a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system to segment adrenal tumors by eliminating the above problems.•The performance of the proposed method was assessed on 113 Magnetic Resonance (MR) images using seven statistical metrics.•As a result, an efficient framework is presented on segmentation of adrenal tumors for MR images, especially for cyst-based tumors.
