Automatic Liver Segmentation on Volumetric CT Images Using Supervoxel-Based Graph Cuts

Figure 2

An example of the 3D abdominal region extraction. (a) Coronal MIP image. (b) The binary bone mask of (a). (c) The processed binary mask. Blue line shows the position of spine. Red and green lines show the lower and upper bounding along -axis, respectively. Yellow lines are corresponding to the in-plane bounding box in (f). (d) Axial MIP image. (e) The binary abdomen mask of (d). (f) The processed binary mask. Yellow rectangle shows the in-plane bounding box. (g) The extraction of lungs. (h) The binary lung mask with the largest lung region area.
