3D-segmentation and display of tomographic imagery

Abstract

Using the Marr-Hildreth operator with a subsequent closing algorithm, it is possible to determine the main constituents of the human head from magnetic resonance image data. With use of the segmentation results in a generalized voxel model one can generate images that are very similar to what is known from real anatomy. It is pointed out that this is facilitated by the tremendous increase of the quality of the original image material.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
