Glass-cutting medical images via a mechanical image segmentation method based on crack propagation

Automatic segmentation of complex medical images is challenging. Here, the authors present a crack propagation method based on the principles of fracture mechanics: extracting the boundary information of the target area by tracing the crack propagation on a thin plate with grooves corresponding to t...
