Kidney segmentation from DCE-MRI converging level set methods, fuzzy clustering and Markov random field modeling

Abstract Early diagnosis of transplanted kidney function requires precise Kidney segmentation from Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging images as a preliminary step. In this regard, this paper aims to propose an automated and accurate DCE-MRI kidney segmentation method integrating fu...
