Abstract |
Evolutionary schemes based on the level set theory are effective tools for medical image segmentation. In this paper, a new variational technique for edge integration is presented. Region statistical measures and orientation information from ramp-like edges, are fused within an energy minimization scheme that is based on a new interpretation of edge concept. A region driven advection term simulating the edge strength effect is directly obtained from this minimization strategy. We have applied our method to several real Magnetic Resonance Angiography data sets and comparison has been made with a state-of-the-art vessel segmentation method. Presented results indicate that using this method a significant improvement is achievable and the method can be an effective tool to extract vessels in MRA intracranial images. |
