A Set-based Hybrid Approach (SHA) for MRI segmentation

Abstract

This paper describes a new hybrid approach Set-Based Hybrid Approach (SHA) for Magnetic Resonance (MR) image segmentation by integrating two existing techniques, region-grow and threshold level set. To evaluate the proposed approach in performing real world image segmentation task, instead of using well-taken MR-images, we use real-life images collected in a hospital. Comparison of the performance between the two individual techniques and the new hybrid technique demonstrates the effectiveness of the latter. © 2006 IEEE.
