초록
본 논문에서는 복부 CT 영상에서 다중 확률 아틀라스 기반 형상제한 그래프-컷을 사용한 신실질 자동 분할 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 다음의 세 단계로 구성된다. 첫째, 신실질의 다양한 형상정보를 이용하기 위해 피질기반 유사정합을 통한 다중 확률 아틀라스를 생성한다. 둘째, 최대사후확률 추정을 통해 그래프-컷의 초기 씨앗을 추출하고, 형상제한 그래프-컷을 통해 신실질을 분할한다. 셋째, 확률 아틀라스의 정합 오차를 줄이고 분할 정확도를 높이기 위해, 정합 및 분할을 반복적으로 수행한다. 제안방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 정성적 평가 및 정량적 평가를 수행하였다. 실험결과 제안방법이 신실질과 유사한 밝기값을 갖는 주변 영역으로의 누출을 방지하여 개선된 분할 정확도를 보여준다.
Abstract
In this paper, we propose an automatic segmentation method of renal parenchyma on abdominal CT image using graph-cuts with shape constraint based on multi-probabilistic atlas. The proposed method consists of following three steps. First, to use the various shape information of renal parenchyma, multi-probabilistic atlas is generated by cortex-based similarity registration. Second, initial seeds for graph-cuts are extracted by maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation and renal parenchyma is segmented by graph-cuts with shape constraint. Third, to reduce alignment error of probabilistic atlas and increase segmentation accuracy, registration and segmentation are iteratively performed. To evaluate the performance of proposed method, qualitative and quantitative evaluation are performed. Experimental results show that the proposed method avoids a leakage into neighbor regions with similar intensity of renal parenchyma and shows improved segmentation accuracy.
