An adaptive initialization method was developed to produce fully automatic processing frameworks based on graph-cut and gradient flow active contour algorithms. This method was applied to abdominal Computed Tomography (CT) images for segmentation of liver tissue and hepatic tumors. Twenty-five anonymized datasets were randomly collected from several radiology centres without specific request on acquisition parameter settings nor patient clinical situation as inclusion criteria. Resulting automatic segmentations of liver tissue and tumors were compared to their reference standard delineations manually performed by a specialist.

Abstract
An adaptive initialization method was developed to produce fully automatic processing frameworks based on graph-cut and gradient flow active contour algorithms. This method was applied to abdominal Computed Tomography (CT) images for segmentation of liver tissue and hepatic tumors. Twenty-five anonymized datasets were randomly collected from several radiology centres without specific request on acquisition parameter settings nor patient clinical situation as inclusion criteria. Resulting automatic segmentations of liver tissue and tumors were compared to their reference standard delineations manually performed by a specialist.File in questo prodotto:
