Description

Pulmonary contour extraction from thoracic x-ray computed tomography images is a mandatory preprocessing step in many automated or semiautomated analysis tasks. This study was conducted to quantitatively assess the performance of a method for pulmonary contour extraction and region identification.Materials and methods http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B75BK-4CYP37B-8/1/cd6c2e81a2efebfbc072409358fc238a
