Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel semiautomatic method for accurate pancreas extraction from abdominal CT images.
  • To address the limitations of existing segmentation techniques, specifically oversegmentation and leakage.
  • To enhance the precision of pancreas segmentation using advanced level set techniques.

Main Methods:

  • A customized fast-marching level set method for optimal initial pancreas region generation.
