Background:

Osteomas are benign bone tumors that can be challenging to segment accurately in X-ray images.
Precise segmentation is crucial for diagnosis and monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce an automated method for osteoma segmentation in X-ray images.
To leverage mathematical morphology for accurate boundary extraction.

Main Methods:

The proposed method utilizes mathematical morphology operations.
Structuring elements are tailored to osteoma shapes.
Gray scale and binary morphological operations combined with histogram thresholding are employed.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

The method successfully extracts osteoma boundaries.

A closed osteoma contour is generated, effectively isolating the lesion from the background.

Demonstrates accurate segmentation of osteomas in X-ray images.

Conclusions:

The developed mathematical morphology-based method provides an effective approach for osteoma segmentation.
This technique aids in the automated analysis of X-ray images for osteoma detection.
