[ITK] spine/bone segmentation

[Yaniv, Ziv Rafael (NIH/NLM/LHC) [C]]

Dear Zein,

Before you embark on your adventure I would suggest that you investigate
the current state of the art segmentation approaches for spine, they are
usually higher level than the set of filters found in ITK. A good place to
start is SpineWeb (http://spineweb.digitalimaginggroup.ca/).

       regards
          Ziv
