A knowledge-based technique for liver segmentation in CT data
Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics , 10/27/09

Foruzan AH et al. – In order to estimate the liver initial boundary, authors have proposed a technique based on anatomical knowledge of liver, its surrounding tissues as well as the approach that a clinician follows in screening liver in a CT dataset. Based on the above reasoning, authors developed a multi–step heuristic technique to segment liver from other tissues in multi–slice CT images. The proposed technique can deal with various shapes, locations, and liver sizes. The method was evaluated in the presence of 50 actual liver data sets and the results were encouraging.
