Morphological active contour without edge-based model for real-time and non-rigid uterine fibroid tracking in HIFU treatment

Morphological active contour without edge-based model for real-time and non-rigid uterine fibroid tracking in HIFU treatment

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy represents an image-guided and non-invasive surgical approach to treat uterine fibroid. During the HIFU operation, it is challenging to obtain the real-time and accurate lesion contour automatically in ultrasound (US) video. The current intraoperative...
