Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Accurate segmentation of abdominal organs is an important step for understanding the human body anatomical structure in the computer-aided diagnosis system. Probabilistic atlas, based on the anatomical structure, can be used for organ segmentation in the Bayesian framework. However, probabilistic atlas-based liver segmentation poses a number of challenges. Firstly, the challenge is how to accurately register the probabilistic atlas to the patient volume. Secondly, the conventional probabilistic atlas may introduce bias toward that specific patient study because of registering to a single reference. Taking these into consideration, we propose a novel algorithm for liver segmentation using the Iterative probabilistic atlas and template matching. Experimental results indicate that the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed method.
