| Abstract |
In this paper, a novel segmentation method for liver vasculature is presented, intended for numerical simulation of radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The developed method is a semiautomatic hybrid based on multi-scale vessel enhancement combined with ridge-oriented region growing and skeleton-based post processing. In addition, an interactive tool for segmentation refinement was developed. Fouri nstances of three phase contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) images of porcine liver were used in the evaluation. The results showed improved accuracy over common approaches and illustrated the method’s suitability for simulation purposes. |
