Abstract
New, increasingly sophisticated and accessible imaging methods, ranging from Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to Positron Emission Tomography (PET) allow scientists and medical doctors to obtain non-invasively potentially life-saving information about patient condition and body. However, the purpose of recent medical imaging is not only to obtain simple visualization and insight into human anatomic structures, but also as a powerful tool for computer-aided diagnosis, radiotherapies, tumor tracking and surgical operation planning and simulation. This is exactly the field where very accurate and reliable image segmentation methods can play a key role. In this work, a cross-platform application software equipped in algorithm for segmentation of anatomical structures from abdomen CT data has been developed. As a segmentation technique balancing good accuracy and efficiency, a semi-automated, region growing segmentation algorithm, based on voxel intensities criteria, was used. Additional features of an application are: ability to visualize large medical data, render segmentation results in 3D as well as support of DICOM standard.
