Pancreas and duodenum—automated organ segmentation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The goal of this preliminary research is to present an automated segmentation of abdominal organs: pancreas and duodenum. The paper shows the automatic extraction of pancreas and duodenum in clinical abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans. The proposed method allows building a feature vector that automates and streamlines the fuzzy connectedness (FC) method. All described steps of the presented methodology have been implemented in MATLAB and tested on clinical abdominal CT scans. The atlas based segmentation combined with the FC method gave Dice index results at the following level: 70.18–84.82% for pancreas and 68.90–88.06% for duodenum.
