Abstract

Automatic liver segmentation system

Liver segmentation is an important prerequisite for planning of surgical interventions like liver tumor resections. The resection of tumors from the liver is a difficult and risky surgical intervention, even for experienced surgeons. The goal of computer assisted preoperative planning is the exact localization of the tumor in relation to the surrounding vascular network.
In diagnostic purpose physician can make better result for detect what action required for this patient either cure or surgical.
In this work we present liver segmentation scheme to help liver physicians and surgeons to do their job in better manner.
Our segmentation approach copes successfully with the high variation found in patient data sets and allows producing accurate segmentations in a time-efficient manner.
