Abstract

This paper presents a fully automated method for segmentation of 3D SPECT ventilation and perfusion images. It relies on statistical information on lung shape derived by CT manual segmentation and its main processing steps are: shape model extraction, binary segmentation, positioning of mean shape in SPECT images and iterative shape adaptation based on intensity profiles and on what is considered 'plausible' lung shape. The Active Shape Model is used to generate accurate anatomic results in SPECT images with functional information and thus unclear borders, especially in the case of pathologies. The method was compared against ground truth manual segmentation on CT images, using volumetric, difference dice coefficient, sensitivity and... (More)
