Deformable Meshes for Medical Image Segmentation

Abstract

In Section 3.5 we described multi-object GraphCuts and proposed a mesh-coupling algorithm. Together, these methods allow for simultaneous segmentation of arbitrarily shaped adjacent objects. This chapter presents applications of coupled multi-object GraphCuts to selected structures of the musculoskeletal system in joint regions, namely bones and cartilage.
