A potential field segmentation based method for tumor segmentation on multi-parametric MRI of glioma cancer patients

Abstract Background Accurate segmentation of brain tumors is vital for the gross tumor volume (GTV) definition in radiotherapy. Functional MR images like apparent diffusion constant (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) images can provide more comprehensive information for sensitive detection of the...
