Unsupervised 3D Prostate Segmentation Based on Diffusion-Weighted Imaging MRI Using Active Contour Models with a Shape Prior

Figure 2

Coarse segmentation results by active contour model overlaid on the ADC images. The prostate was removed after surgery, and the specimen weighs 45 g and measures 4.5 cm SI × 4.0 cm ML × 3.2 cm AP, part(a) is 3 mm to the actual base, and part(d) is 3 mm to the actual apex.
