N2 - An attempt to recapitulate and conclude numerous experiences with the fuzzy connectedness theory applied to medical image segmentation is made in this paper. The fuzzy connectedness principles introduced in 1996 have been developed and tested in dozens of studies in past 15 years; many advantages, as well as shortcomings have been discovered and described. Some aspects of the method and its applications have been summarized here, including the examples of specific 2D and 3D medical studies with various objects, subjected to fuzzy connected segmentation. Deliberation about the usefulness of multiseeded and multiobject variants is also present. An algorithm optimized for matrix computations-based programming languages is introduced. Finally, 3 fuzzy connectedness-based computer aided diagnosis systems are described and evaluated.
