[Insight-developers] MR Segmentation

[Stephen R. Aylward]

Hi,

It looks like Nils wants to segment the pelvis from CT and MR.

This should be do-able with itk now...

1) Region grow (itkRegionGrowImageFilter or
itkFuzzyConnectednessImageFilter.h)
2) morphological erosion (2cm - remove ribs)
3) morphological dilate (3cm - restore to original size + fill in marrow
holes)
4) morphological erosion (1cm - restore to original size)

The problem with abdominal MR are the intensity inhomogeneities.

Try the MRBiasFieldCorrection method and then do the above for MR (bones
being dark).

Stephen
