  1. 1. Segmentation and synthesis of pelvic region CT images via neural networks trained on XCAT phantom data

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorseende

    Author : HANG ZHAO; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Deep learning methods for medical image segmentation are hindered by the lack of training data. This thesis aims to develop a method that overcomes this problem. Basic U-net trained on XCAT phantom data was tested first. The segmentation results were unsatisfactory even when artificial quantum noise was added. READ MORE

  2. 2. 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. 3. Automatic Segmentation of Tissues in CT Images of the Pelvic Region

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Martin Kardell; [2014]
    Keywords : Image segmentation; Computed tomography; Pelvic region; Prostate; Thresholding; Region growing; Atlas segmentation; Deformable models;

    Abstract : In brachytherapy, radiation therapy is performed by placing the radiation source into or very close to the tumour. When calculating the absorbed dose, water is often used as the radiation transport and dose scoring medium for soft tissues and this leads to inaccuracies. READ MORE
