    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Computational Geometry
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Polyp size is a crucial biomarker for colon cancer detection and staging.
    • Manual polyp size measurements are prone to significant errors, impacting clinical accuracy.
    • Accurate polyp segmentation is essential for reliable colon cancer assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an automated method for segmenting colon polyps from user-defined points.
    • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of polyp size measurement in colon cancer diagnostics.
    • To differentiate polyp growths from other colonic structures like haustral folds.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel segmentation method based on front propagation on a surface mesh.
    • Feature extraction including local protrudedness, thickness, wall-like structure resemblance, and ridge measures.
    • Fast marching algorithm guided by aggregated and smoothed features for polyp extraction.

    Main Results:

    • The method successfully segments various polyp shapes automatically.
    • Segmentation is achieved rapidly, typically in less than two seconds.
    • The approach effectively distinguishes polyps from other colonic protrusions.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented automatic segmentation method offers a reliable and fast alternative to manual polyp measurement.
    • This technique has the potential to enhance the accuracy of colon cancer biomarker assessment.
    • Further integration into clinical workflows could improve diagnostic efficiency and patient outcomes.
