Pulmonary Lobe Segmentation in CT Images Based on Lung Anatomy Knowledge

Figure 16

The segmented lung lobes are marked with different colors. The upper, middle, and lower lobes are rendered in green, red, and yellow, respectively. The first, second, and third rows represent the visual lobar boundaries, the proposed method, and the constrained interpolation profile method, in which the distinct areas of pulmonary lobes are marked with red arrows.
