Electronic cleansing in computed tomography colonography using AT layer identification with integration of gradient directional second derivative and material fraction model

Electronic cleansing in computed tomography colonography using AT layer identification with integration of gradient directional second derivative and material fraction model

Abstract Background In computed tomography colonography images, electronic cleansing (EC) is applied to remove opacified residual materials, called fecal-tagging materials (FTM), using positive-contrast tagging agents and laxative to facilitate polyp detection. Methods The proposed EC, EC prop , int...
