Diagnosis of skin cancers with dermoscopy has been widely accepted as a clinical routine. However, the diagnostic accuracy using dermoscopy relies on the subjective judgment of the dermatologist. To solve this problem, a computer-aided diagnosis system is demanded. Here, we propose a level set method to fulfill the segmentation of skin lesions presented in dermoscopic images. The differences between normal skin...
The segmentation of pelvic structures in magnetic resonance (MR) images of the female pelvic cavity is a challenging task. This paper proposes the use of three novel geometric deformable models to segment the bladder, vagina and rectum in axial MR images. The different imaging appearances and prior shape knowledge are combined into a level set framework as segmentation cues. The movements of the contours are co...
The urinary bladder can be visualized from different views by imaging facilities such as Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Multi-view imaging can present more details of this pelvic organ and contribute to a more reliable reconstruction. Based on the information from multi-view planes, a level set based algorithm is proposed to reconstruct the 3D shape of the bladder using the cross-sectio...
The anatomies of pelvic structures are critical for the diagnosis of pelvic floor dysfunctions. However, because of the complex background, the imaging appearances of pelvic organs and muscles are frequently distorted by noise and partial volume effect. Magnetic resonance imaging with its clear imaging quality of the female pelvic cavity is preferred for many studies. As such, correct segmentations of the pelvi...

This paper aims to make a review on current segmentation algorithms used for medical images. Image segmentation algorithms can be classified according to their methodologies, namely the ones based on thresholds, clustering, and deformable models. Each type of algorithms is discussed as well as their main application fields identified; additionally, the advantages and disadvantages of each type are pointed out. ...
The processing and analysis of structures presented in images has been one of the areas of Computational Vision with greater potential and applicability. The main goal of the researchers of this area has been the development of new computational methodologies to study the behaviour of structures in images. The mentioned image-based analysis is very important in many domains. For example, in Medicine, the inform...
The urinary bladder on T2-weighted MR images has a high signal intensity appearance, which can be clearly identified from the neighboring structures. However, due to the complex imaging background, the appearance of the bladder is frequently influenced by noise and partial volume effect. Different algorithms have been proposed to segment the bladder. Nevertheless, these algorithms are at their beginning phases,...
