In this paper, we present a novel, fast, hybrid and bi-level segmentation technique uniquely developed for segmentation of medical images. Medical images are generally characterized by multiple regions, and weak edges. When regions in medical images are viewed as made up of homogeneous group of intensities, it becomes more difficult to analyze because quite often different organs or anatomical structures...
In Image Guided neuro-Surgery (IGnS) protocol relating to tumor, the planning stage is the bottleneck where most times are spent reconstructing the slices in order to; quantify the tumor, get the tumor shape and location relative to adjacent cells, and determine best incursion route among others. This time consuming assignment is handled by a surgeon using any of the standardized IGnS software. It...
One of the crucial stages in Image Guided Surgery (IGS) protocol is the IGS planning stage, the major requirements at that stage are to determine tumor extent and size by reconstructing tumor slices, and to determine the best way to approach affected site. The surgeon is clinically responsible to do these with the aid of IGS software that is fashioned in line with the surgeon training. It has been...
Measuring the properties of regular shapes like triangles, parallelogram, and geometric figures like circle, and spheres have well established methods and formulae. On the contrary, measuring the parameters of irregular shapes and particularly area of irregular closed space with snaky or wobbled edge is yet to have a definitive and assured approach, thus, measuring the parameters of such shape relies...
The adoption of minimally invasive method in surgical intervention occasioned by Image Guided Surgery (IGS) / Computer Aided Surgery (CAS) has further enhanced the acceptability of IGS into more areas of surgery such as spinal cord surgery, teleguided surgery, robotic controlled surgery, neuro surgery, and even orthopedic surgery and emergency situations which have hitherto least benefitted in IGS...
