3D kidney segmentation from abdominal diffusion MRI using an appearance-guided deformable boundary.

3D kidney segmentation from abdominal diffusion MRI using an appearance-guided deformable boundary.

A new technique for more accurate automatic segmentation of the kidney from its surrounding abdominal structures in diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is presented. This approach combines a new 3D probabilistic shape model of the kidney with a first-order appearance model and fou...
