Semi-Automatic Segmentation of Vertebral Bodies in MR Images of Human Lumbar Spines

Semi-Automatic Segmentation of Vertebral Bodies in MR Images of Human Lumbar Spines

We propose a semi-automatic algorithm for the segmentation of vertebral bodies in magnetic resonance (MR) images of the human lumbar spine. Quantitative analysis of spine MR images often necessitate segmentation of the image into specific regions representing anatomic structures of interest. Existin...
