Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer. Depending on the extent of the disease, radiotherapy and surgery are currently the only curative therapies. When surgery is performed, the shortest distance from affected regions to the resection boundary is an important predictive factor for prognosis of the disease. This article will present segmentation of the rectal wall in macroscopic slices...
The aim of this paper is to introduce a variational image segmentation method for assessing the aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in the human colon captured in vivo by endoscopy. ACF are thought to be precursors for colorectal cancer, and therefore their early detection may play an important clinical role. We enhance the active contours without edges model of Chan and Vese to account for the ACF's particular...
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in men and women. Generally surgery is by total excision of the mesorectum (TME), though it often has a poor outcome due to affected lymph nodes close to the resection boundary. Advancements in diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer require integration of information from different sources such as pathology macroscopic and microscopic...
