This 2010 SPIE conference paper presents an iterative graph-cut active shape model for delineating anatomy in three-dimensional medical images, combining image-based segmentation with statistical shape information.

Summary

The paper proposes iterative graph-cut-ASM (IGCASM), a method for delineating anatomical structures in 3D medical images. It integrates statistical shape information from an active shape model with graph-cut image segmentation. The authors report preliminary testing on clinical abdominal CT images and describe the work as an extension of their earlier 2D approach. The conference paper is a preliminary report; its findings should not be conflated with the authors’ later, expanded journal study.
