  1. 1. Automatic Tissue Segmentation of Volumetric CT Data of the Pelvic Region

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Medicinsk informatik

    Author : Julius Jeuthe; [2017]
    Keywords : Image segmentation; Computed tomography; Pelvic region; Threshold segmentation; Region growing; Histogram matching; Atlas segmentation; Morphon;

    Abstract : Automatic segmentation of human organs allows more accurate calculation of organ doses in radiationtreatment planning, as it adds prior information about the material composition of imaged tissues. For instance, the separation of tissues into bone, adipose tissue and remaining soft tissues allows to use tabulated material compositions of those tissues. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of 3D MRI Image Registration Methods

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorseende

    Author : Magnus Ivarsson; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Image registration is the process of geometrically deforming a template image into a reference image. This technique is important and widely used within thefield of medical IT. The purpose could be to detect image variations, pathologicaldevelopment or in the company AMRA’s case, to quantify fat tissue in variousparts of the human body. READ MORE

  4. 3. Automatic Detection of Anatomical Landmarks in Three-Dimensional MRI

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorseende

    Author : Hannes Järrendahl; [2016]
    Keywords : Quantitative 3D MRI; Machine learning; Medical image processing; Morphon image registration; 3D Haar features; Random regression forests;

    Abstract : Detection and positioning of anatomical landmarks, also called points of interest(POI), is often a concept of interest in medical image processing. Different measures or automatic image analyzes are often directly based upon positions of such points, e.g. in organ segmentation or tissue quantification. READ MORE

  5. 4. Volumetric Quantification of Metastatic Burden from SPECT/CT Images

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Hanna Carlsson; [2012]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Bone scintigraphy images are used to investigate the presence of metastases in patients with prostate cancer. An analysis of these images indicates the proportion of cancer in the bones; the Bone Scan Index (BSI). This value is an important prognostic factor used to predict the future for the patients.

  6. 5. Adipose tissue segmentation in whole-body MRI

    University essay from Medicinsk informatik; Centrum för medicinsk bildvetenskap och visualisering, CMIV

    Author : Erik Cederberg; [2010]
    Keywords : Adipose tissue; Segmentation; Morphon; Dixon;

    Abstract : Adipose tissue volume and distribution is related to metabolic diseases such as diabetes and atherosclerosis. This relationship is in focus for much research, much due to a worldwide increase in obesity. It is in many cases of interest to calculate the amount of adipose tissue in different compartments within the body. READ MORE
