Semiautomatic Segmentation of Vertebrae in Lateral X-rays Using a Conditional Shape Model
Academic Radiology, 09/28/2007
Iglesias, J.E., et al. - Manual annotation of the full contour of the vertebrae in lateral x-rays for subsequent morphometry is time-consuming. The standard six-point morphometry is commonly used instead. It has been shown that the information from the complete contour improves the quality of the study...Conclusions: The proposed method provides hence a richer description than the six points, and can be used as input for shape-based morphometry to detect and quantify vertebral deformation more accurately
