Cube-cut: vertebral body segmentation in MRI-data through cubic-shaped divergences.

In this article, we present a graph-based method using a cubic template for volumetric segmentation of vertebrae in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisitions. The user can define the degree of deviation from a regular cube via a smoothness value Δ. The Cube-Cut algorithm generates a directed gra...
