Segmentation of Juxtapleural Pulmonary Nodules Using a Robust Surface Estimate
Figure 15
Example of a nodule where the segmentation performed by the surface-fitting algorithm is better than the segmentation performed by the plane-cutting method, with (a) the region of interest containing the nodule, (b) the nodule segmentation via the surface-fitting algorithm, and (c) the segmentation by the plane-cutting method. In (b) and (c), areas of white indicate nodule.
