Liver Perfusion using Level Set Methods.pdf

1、The following things have been achieved by this thesis’s work. ·The main difficulties in the liver perfusion problem have been identitied. ·A robust, automatic and performant segmentation and measurement process

2、has been devised for liver perfusion MRI series. ·The level set method, the narrow band level set method and the Fast Marching Method have been implemented, tested and optimized for its application in the liver perfu

3、sion approach. ·Different aspects of the approach have been evaluated, (a) the overall approach against its value in clinical applications, (b) the prototype’s runtime performance on a common system configuration, (c

4、) the segmentation accuracy and (d) the perfusion area location accuracy. ·Throughout the thesis I gave brief explanations for possible alternative approaches to the segmentation problem. Together they give rise to t

5、he possible directions of future work described below. The problem introduced in section 1.1 has been solved and the goals introduced in section 1.2 have beenachieved. The clinical value has been validated by radiolog
