Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an improved semi-automatic segmentation method for lymph nodes in CT images.
  • To overcome the 'boundary leaking' issue inherent in traditional fast marching methods.
  • To enhance the accuracy of lymph node size analysis through improved segmentation.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an improved fast marching method for segmentation.
  • Incorporation of grayscale information into the fast marching speed term.
