Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Image Processing
Computational Anatomy

Background:

Magnetic resonance (MR) image segmentation is vital for treatment planning.
Intensity inhomogeneity is a common challenge in MR imaging.
Existing methods often suffer from initialization sensitivity.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a robust level-set-based segmentation method for MR images.
To address the challenge of intensity inhomogeneity.
To overcome the initialization sensitivity of segmentation algorithms.

Main Methods:

A novel image-guided regularization technique was developed to constrain the level set function.
Maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference was employed to integrate segmentation and bias field correction.
Both contour and bias field priors were utilized within a unified framework.

Main Results:

The proposed method effectively corrects image intensity inhomogeneity.
Significant improvements in segmentation accuracy were observed.
Enhanced bias field correction accuracy was demonstrated compared to state-of-the-art methods.

Conclusions:

The developed method offers a unified framework for accurate MR image segmentation and bias field correction.
The image-guided regularization successfully mitigates initialization sensitivity.
This approach shows substantial promise for clinical applications in surgical and treatment planning.
