[Insight-users] Contour extraction

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Preben,

Please give a description of the kind of input image that you have
and the kind of segmentation that you want to perform.

Are you trying to extract linear structures ? (tubes, blood vessels ?)

or

Are you trying to extract boundaries of large organs ? (livers, kidneys)?


   Please be more concise,

   Image segmentation is a very large field....



       Thanks


             Luis
