3D segmentation of thyroid ultrasound images using active contours
In this paper, we propose a method to segment the thyroid from a set of 2D ultrasound images. We extended an active contour model in 2D to generate a 3D segmented thyroid volume. First, a preprocessing step is carried out to suppress the noise present in US data. Second, an active contour is used to...
